Nagpur Violence | "CCTVs Broken, Vehicles Torched": Residents Share How Nagpur Violence Unfolded
Houses were vandalised and vehicles were torched, recounted the residents of Nagpur, narrating how the violence unfolded last night after calls by a right-wing outfit to remove the tomb of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. Eyewitnesses claimed the police did not arrive on time and a BJP lawmaker accused them of abandoning "Hindu citizens" in the violence.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had staged a protest earlier in the day demanding that Aurangzeb’s tomb be removed from its site in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. During their demonstrations yesterday, a photo of the Mughal ruler was burnt – it was wrapped in a green colour cloth that "symbolised his grave". This reportedly led to rumours that sacred verses were written on the cloth, sparking tension in the area.
Violence broke out around 7:30 pm at Chitnis Park in central Nagpur, during which stones were thrown at the police and several people were injured.
