Senior advocate and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ujjwal Nikam on Sunday strongly condemned the recent violence in Nagpur, terming it as "shameful" and asserting that those responsible for damaging public property would face stringent legal consequences.

Nikam, while speaking to ANI, emphasised that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has taken a firm stand against the rioters and made it clear that they would not be spared. “The Nagpur violence is a matter of great shame. The Chief Minister has categorically stated that those involved in the riots will face severe legal repercussions. Compensation for the destruction of public property will be recovered from the rioters. While police investigations are ongoing, it is crucial to examine how such unrest erupted suddenly and who is behind it. Nobody has sympathy for Aurangzeb, but if someone exploits the situation to incite violence and torch public property, they will face strict legal action. The Chief Minister has made this amply clear,” Nikam stated, as per ANI.
