Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has appealed for peace after violence broke out in Nagpur today amid the row over the call for removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb.
The clash between two groups in Mahal, central Nagpur, took place hours after the right-wing group Vishwa Hindu Parishad organised a protest demanding removal of Aurangzeb's tomb. There was tension in the area since.
Later, stones were thrown, and several vehicles, including a few belonging to the fire brigade, were torched. Several firemen were also injured, the fire department has claimed. The violence stopped after police intervention and there is calm for now.
