More than 50 individuals have been taken into custody, and five First Information Reports (FIRs) have been lodged in connection with the recent violence that broke out in Maharashtra’s Nagpur city, according to PTI reports. The violence erupted on Monday evening, prompting a swift police response to contain the unrest.

As per PTI, Nagpur Police Commissioner Ravinder Singal confirmed that the disturbances began after rumours circulated about the alleged burning of a holy book belonging to a particular community. The unrest reportedly stemmed from an agitation by a right-wing group demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb, located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
