Aurangzeb Row: Clashes Erupted Between Two Groups In Nagpur, CM Fadnavis Appeals For Peace

Tension gripped central Nagpur on Monday night following a dispute between two groups, leading to vandalism. The unrest began between 7 and 7:30 PM near Shivaji Chowk when slogans were raised by a large group. As another group joined in, police arrived to separate them and pushed the crowd back toward Chitnis Park. Suddenly, heavy stone-pelting began from the Bhaldar Pura area, targeting Nagpur police personnel.
