Nuh Violence: Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij has said that there is 'big game plan' behind the violence that rocked Nuh district this week. He said that the entire incident could not have been possible without a 'proper plan', adding that people were climbing hills adjacent to temples with lathis in their hands. While talking to the media, Vij said that some people arranged weapons and this is all part of a plan. However, he said that no conclusion can be drawn at this point and a thorough probe is being done to ascertain the reasons and find culprits.

Notably, a video of Nuh's Nalhar Mahadev Mandir had gone viral showing rioters firing bullets from hillocks. Media reports mentioned that around 2,500 people were stuck inside the temple during the incident and were later rescued.

"There is a big game plan behind this. People climbed hills next to the temples, had lathis in their hands and gathered at entry points, all this is not possible without a proper plan. Bullets were fire, some people had arranged weapons as well. All this is part of a plan. We will not rush to an early conclusion without a thorough investigation being done. Internet services will be restored after the situation improves," the state Home Minister said.

On the claims of an intelligence failure, Vij said, "I was not shared any intelligence input on (Nuh violence). I had even asked ACS (Home) and DGP, they said they also don't have the information. Now, a video is going viral in which a CID inspector claimed that he knew everything in advance. If he knew, then who did he inform about this."
