Скачать или смотреть Devendra Fadnavis vows strict action against Nagpur violence accused

Violence erupted in Maharashtra’s Nagpur after right-wing groups called for removing Aurangzeb’s tomb. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced damages from arson and vandalism would be recovered from rioters, with their property sold if they failed to pay.

Fadnavis stated Maharashtra would take action "our way," including using bulldozers if necessary. Authorities identified 104 accused and arrested 92, including 12 juveniles. Over 68 inflammatory social media posts linked to the riots were flagged and deleted.

Dismissing intelligence failure claims, Fadnavis admitted intelligence could have been better but wasn’t a total lapse. PM Narendra Modi’s March 30 Nagpur visit remains unchanged, including a stop at the RSS headquarters.

A Bangladeshi angle couldn’t be confirmed, but some social media profiles shared content from Bangladesh. Fadnavis mentioned Malegaon parties supporting accused rioters. He denied political involvement, stating harsh action would follow after confirming signs of pre-planned attacks.

Fadnavis clarified reports of a woman constable being sexually molested were false; she was attacked with stones. He reassured citizens that 80% of Nagpur remains peaceful, with curfews gradually relaxing and efforts underway to install new CCTV cameras.

Defending police efforts, Fadnavis deemed criticism unfair, revealing a Maharashtra Congress fact-finding committee member was accused in the Akola riots. Meanwhile, Minorities Democratic Party leader Hamid Engineer was arrested for instigating violence, confirmed DCP Lohit Matani.
