At the end of Monday (March 17), a brutal collision occurred between the two groups in Nagpur, only a few hours after the right -hand organization of Vishva Hindu Parisad (VHP) protested in which Emperor Mughal’s grave Avrangzeb called. In the area of Mahal, there was a witness to the stones, and several vehicles were set on fire.
Police used reeds and tear gas to reassure the situation because four people were injured, reports.
“The stone platform was passing, so we showed power, and used tear gas … A few vehicles were scattered, we had merged from the fire, calling the fire brigade,” said Archit Chandak, Deputy Police Commissioner Nagpur.
“Several police officers were injured, I also suffered a little injury in the leg during the stone swim. But we urge everyone to support peace.”
“Peace is the tradition of Nagpura”: CM
Minister Maharashtri Devendra Fadovis turned to peace, saying it was a “tradition of Nagpur”.
“The police are managing the situation after a stone extension and tense situation in the Mahala area,” the CM said. “Nagpur is a peaceful city where people share joy and sadness with each other, which has always been the tradition of Nagpur. Don’t believe the rumors.”
Gadkari statement on questions
The Minister of the Union Ninit Kakari, who represents Nagpur’s constituency in parliament, also urged people to support peace.
In the video message posted on the social media platform X, he said: “I assure you that the government will take measures against those who have made mistakes or participated in illegal activity. The chief minister is already informed of this situation, so I ask everyone not to pay attention to the rumors.”
Fadovis supported calls
CM Fadnavis previously supported calls for removal of Arangzeba grave. “It is a pity that the government should take responsibility for protecting Avrangzeba’s grave, despite the persecution history,” he said, adding that any actions should be taken legally.
The situation in Nagpur
Following the violence, Nagpura police introduced section 144 – under which four or more people could not gather at a time – and curfew in the affected areas to prevent further incidents.
