NEW DELHI – Police in Haryana’s Nuh, have launched wide search operations across mosques, madrasas, rented houses, and workplaces after the recent Delhi car blast, sparking anger among local Muslims who say they are being treated as suspects simply for their identity.
The order came after the Superintendent of Police for Nuh district, Rajesh Kumar, held a meeting with all station heads and directed them to carry out checks across the district. Nuh is a Muslim-majority area, and the police move has raised questions about selective policing.
Speaking to the media, SP Rajesh Kumar said the police were acting to stop any “terrorist or anti-social” activity. He said, “The police are on alert. We will pay special attention to those working in schools, colleges, madrasas, factories, private institutions, and other workplaces, including people who have come from outside.”
He added that the police would collect information from these places and send the data to investigative agencies.
“After questioning and investigating these places and people, all data will be sent to investigative agencies so that any suspicious activity can be stopped in time,” he said.
The SP also instructed officers to monitor old vehicles closely. “Criminals often commit crimes using old vehicles, so special attention will be paid to them,” he said, urging landlords to do police verification before renting out rooms.
Many Muslims in Nuh say the police action feels less like safety and more like pressure on the entire community. Local resident Shahid Ali said, “Our mosques and madrasas are places of prayer and study. Why are they checking only Muslim places? This makes us feel as if we are all under suspicion.”
