"On May 18 there was a rally in the nearby Mona village where Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar addressed a rally. After that tension prevailed in that area.
"Six days after the meeting, on May 25, a crowd of two thousand people attacked houses belonging to a particular community. The mob comprised outsiders," a fact-finding report, which was made public by the party today, stated.
The four-member "fact-finding team" comprised party's Uttam Nagar and Okhla MLAs Naresh Balyan and Amanatullah Khan, Abhas Chandela and Feroz Khan.
