Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday vowed to take strict action against the culprits who attacked the police personnel during the violent clashes in Nagpur this week.
During the assembly session, Fadnavis termed the attack on police a planned “conspiracy” and said, “We will dig them out from their graves, but won’t spare those who attacked police in Nagpur.”
He further highlighted how a mob pelted stones at the cops. “A crowd of around 80 people was involved in stone-pelting. A police officer was attacked with an axe and three deputy commissioners were assaulted. Certain houses were deliberately targeted and one DCP was attacked with an axe,” he said.
Clashes broke out in Nagpur’s Chitnis Park area in Mahal on Monday. Police were attacked with stones following rumours that a religious text had been desecrated during a protest by a right-wing group demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
