The brother of Yusuf Sheikh, an accused in the March 17 Nagpur violence, has alleged that the city's civic body initiated the demolition of part of their residence despite the family possessing all necessary approvals and documents.

Ayaz Sheikh claimed that their house was legally constructed, and accused the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) of acting out of "revenge" by partially demolishing the structure on Monday, citing it as "unauthorised."
