NEW DELHI, Aug 1 (Reuters) - At least five people, including two police personnel, were killed in clashes between Hindus and Muslims in India's Haryana state, neighbouring capital New Delhi, on Monday, police officials told Reuters. The violence erupted when a Hindu religious procession passed through the Muslim dominated Nuh region, located around 50 kilometres away from New Delhi. He said two of the dead were members of the home guard, a voluntary force that helps police control civil disturbances. Another 10 police personnel were injured in the clashes, he added. "The guilty will not be spared at any cost, strictest action will be taken against them," he said.
