A curfew has been imposed in parts of Nagpur after violence erupted during a VHP-Bajrang Dal protest demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb. Rumors of a holy book’s desecration led to stone pelting, torched vehicles, and injuries to four policemen. The police used tear gas and lathi charges to disperse mobs in Chitnis Park and Mahal. Restrictions under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita prohibit movement and gatherings. CM Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari urged calm. Essential services and students appearing for exams are exempt. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to restore order.
