An additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) of Nuh, her three-year-old daughter, and her staff members had a narrow escape when their car was attacked and set on fire by a mob during the attack on a religious procession in Haryana’s Nuh on Monday, July 31, reveals the FIR. The judge and her daughter hid inside a workshop at the old bus stand which is near the Nuh district court.
An FIR was registered on Tuesday against unknown people on the complaint of Tek Chand, a process server, at a local court in Nuh. The FIR at the City Nuh police station disclosed that Anjali Jain, the ACJM, her daughter, and a few staff members had to run for their lives on Monday as the attackers pelted stones and fired at them.
“Anjali Jain, her daughter, gunman Siyaram, and Tek Chand had gone in the ACJM’s car to SKM Medical College, Nalhar, to get some medicines. Around 2 pm, when they were returning, around 100-150 rioters attacked them near the old bus stand,” the FIR said. The judge, her daughter, and the staff members were saved by lawyers. When a staff member of the judge returned to the spot the next day, he found the car gutted.
