On 20 June 2026, armed miscreants opened fire at a Congress MLA office located directly opposite a police station in Rohtak. Furthermore, on 30 April 2026, a man executed a daylight revenge killing in a Gurugram market to avenge his father's murder, while in Faridabad, a female teacher named Sandhya was stabbed to death on 3 August 2026, leading to the suspect's arrest on 4 August 2026.
