Monu was then booked by the Rajasthan Police , in connection with the murders committed by alleged cow protection gangs. Monu is also accused of inciting the communal clashes in Nuh on July 31, in which mobs attacked a religious procession organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. The clashes caused 6 casualties, and 88 injured and spilled over into neighbouring districts and cities including Gurugram. Monu was picked up by the Haryana Police on September 12 and was later handed over to the Rajasthan Police after it obtained a transit remand from a court in Nuh.
