Nuh, Haryana: A case has been registered after a mob allegedly attacked a police escort team from Meghalaya in Nuh district of Haryana while they were transporting an accused linked to multiple ATM robbery cases.
According to police officials, the incident occurred near a village in Nuh when the team from the Meghalaya Police was escorting the accused after obtaining transit remand from a local court. A group of around 20–30 people reportedly surrounded the police vehicle, hurled stones, and attempted to free the suspect from custody.
During the confrontation, the mob allegedly tried to snatch the police team’s weapons and vehicle keys, creating a tense situation. To control the crowd and protect themselves, the officers reportedly fired warning shots in self-defence.

Despite the attack, the police team managed to keep the accused in custody and continued with the escort operation. Authorities later registered an FIR against several individuals involved in the incident.
Officials said cases have been filed under multiple sections, including rioting, attempt to murder, and obstruction of public servants from performing their duty. Police teams have launched an investigation and are working to identify and arrest those responsible for the attack.
