Gurugram, Aug 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) A police team came under attack while they raided a village in Haryana's Nuh district in an attempt to arrest a suspect involved in the July 31 communal violence.
The incident took place on Friday morning in Singar village when the team from Crime Branch Punhana unit went to arrest the suspect identified as Irshad.
After he was initally nabbed from a bus stand, the locals present at the scene got into an altercation with the Crime Branch team and fled with Irshad to the village, according to the police.
The unit called for additional force, including women police personnel, and entered the village, where they were attacked by a group of women with stones.
