Six persons, including two homeguards and a cleric, died in the communal clashes. On late Wednesday night, the Nuh police arrested Osama after a brief encounter near the Ujina canal drain.

A search operation was launched following inputs that the bike-borne accused was headed to his in-laws house in Ali Meo village from Ferozepur Namak. After seeing the cops, the accused took a U-turn and tried to escape. When the police tried to intercept Osama, he opened fire at them and in retaliatory firing, he suffered a bullet injury on his leg. He was nabbed and placed under arrest. A country-made pistol, one cartridge and a motorcycle were recovered from his possession, the police said.

Nuh police spokesperson Krishna Kumar said Osama was wanted in Nalhar arson case. He was being treated at Nalhar medical college.
