The Haryana Police on Tuesday said that mobs killed a cleric in a late-night attack on a mosque, torched an eatery and vandalised shops as communal violence that began in Haryana's Nuh spilled over into neighbouring Gurugram, taking the death toll to five. Haryana Violence: After Communal Clashes in Nuh, Rapid Action Force Conducts Flag March in Faridabad, Palwal, and Gurugram (Watch Video).
