The police said on July 31, a person filed a written complaint at the Sohna city police station in Gurgaon, reporting that on the same day, when he was heading from Sohna Bazaar towards Ambedkar Chowk, during communal clashes, an unknown person intentionally shot at him with the intent to kill. The police registered a case at the Sohna city police station based on this complaint.

The police also said a man who had allegedly posted provocative posts on X, formerly Twitter, intending to incite clashes and increase communal hatred, was apprehended Friday.

The accused has been identified as Mohammad Shahid Alam, a resident of Khaira Village, Bhagalpur, Bihar, who was booked on August 8.
During the police interrogation, it was revealed that the accused had been living in Delhi since 2016 and had posted provocative content during the violence in Gurgaon to seek revenge for the burning of a mosque and the murder of an imam.
