Nuh district of Haryana is once again in discussion. Here an FIR has been lodged against 10 people for spoiling communal harmony by spreading false propaganda on social media against a sweet shop here. This case is being reported on July 21, when sweets shopkeeper Girraj Prasad lodged a police complaint.

Girraj Prasad told the police that misleading allegations have been made on his shop and Muslim employees on Facebook, which were not only false but also part of the conspiracy to spread communal tension in the area.

What is the whole matter?

Complainant Girraj Prasad said that his shop ‘Lala Chandriram Sweets’ has been operating in the grain market in Nuh for the last 75 years. Bina has been shopping for a dispute. 10 to 12 Muslim employees work in the shop and milk supply has also been from the Muslim community.
