Gurugram, July 15 

Tension has gripped Manesar as around 200 migrant families have reportedly ‘fled’ after Hindu outfits reportedly launched a proactive identity verification. 

Following a recent mahapanchayat, Hindu outfits had demanded that administration verify identity of Muslim migrants and after reportedly getting no response they took things in their own hands. 

The outfits have reportedly asked Muslim shop owners to name their shops highlighting their identity. The move has led to panic and an entire settlement of around 200 migrants have left. 

“We have asked the landlords and locals to get identity of migrants verified. We have also asked shop keepers to keep their identity clear. They can't be Muslims and have their juice shops being called 'Balaji juice corner'. They have now fled fearing verification. We can't have Rohingyas or unverified immigrants,” said Davinder Singh of VHP. 

While situation has gone volatile, police is yet to issue any statement while DC Gurugram Nishant Yadav said that matter has been brought to his notice. 

“We have got to know about this reported exodus and are looking into it. We are even speaking to the police and will ensure peace,” he said.
