5 people have died since violent clashes broke out in Haryana's Nuh on July 31. 

According to the police, a 26-year-old man was killed in Gurugram in post-midnight clashes as news of the violence in Nuh spread. The police said that one person died in the Gurugram violence, while three others were injured. 

A 26-year-old man was killed and a mosque was set ablaze in the Sector 57 area as the violence that erupted over an attempt to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession in neighbouring Nuh district spread to Gurugram, police here said.

The mob opened fire in which two persons were injured. One of them died during treatment, they said.

The victim has been identified as Saad, a native of Bihar, a senior officer said. This is the third death in the wake of the "intense communal tension" that spread from Nuh.

According to the police, the mob reached the Anjuman Masjid in Sector 57 after midnight. Some people in the crowd opened fire at the people present in the mosque and also set it on fire.

In Nuh, two more people injured in the violence on July 31 succumbed to their injuries.
