Gurugram (PTI): A clash between two groups from the same community after Eid prayers in a village in Nuh left more than five injured on Monday.
According to police, the incident, which occurred at 9 am, was a fallout of an old rivalry between groups led by individuals Rashid and Sajid in Tirwada village.
After getting information, teams from several police stations reached the village and restored order. A police team has been deployed in the village to ensure peace, officials said.
The violence started after members of one group, who were going home after offering Namaz at an Idgah, had an altercation with some people from the other side. The two groups then attacked each other with sticks.
After police reached the spot, the violence stopped and the injured were rushed to a hospital.
The police said there is an old dispute between Rashid and Sajid groups in which cases had been filed against both parties earlier.
"In the old rivalry, there was a clash between the groups of Rashid and Sajid in village Tirwada in which Meeru and Hafiz from Rashid's party and Khurshid, Ashmin and Noor Mohammad from Sajid's party got injured and are being treated in hospital," said Krishan Kumar, the spokesperson of Nuh police.
"Some other people from both groups also suffered minor injuries. Our police teams are on the spot and the situation is under control. A probe is underway and an FIR will be registered soon," the spokesperson said.

SP has ended contract with I-PAC due to fund constraints: Akhilesh Yadav
Lucknow (PTI): Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said his party has severed its association with the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) due to a lack of funds.
He dismissed speculations that the termination of contract was because of recent election results.
Addressing a press conference here, Yadav said the party had engaged I-PAC for a brief period ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections but could not continue the arrangement.
"Yes, we had an association. They worked with us for a few months, but we are not able to continue because we do not have that kind of funding," he said.
The I-PAC is a political consultancy firm known for managing major election campaigns across the country.
Election strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has also been associated with the organisation in the past and has worked with multiple parties, including the BJP and the Congress.
In a lighter vein, Yadav took a swipe at the ecosystem of political consultancies. "We thought that if we have to work with a 'winning agency', then there are several big companies."
He said that some people suggested conducting surveys, hiring another firm, keeping a social media company, and even engaging agencies for negative campaigning against other parties.
"There are one or two more companies whose names are not yet known. I can get those for you as well," Yadav said.
Yadav rejected the suggestion that the decision to end the deal was influenced by recent election outcomes in states such as West Bengal.
"There is no such thing. Do not ask questions based on baseless reports. That is not true," he said.
"This is not the reason for ending the agreement. We simply do not have enough funds. If you (the media) give us funds, we can hire another company," the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said.
