Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on March 22 said that any damage caused during the violent clashes in Nagpur on March 17 will be recovered from the rioters. “Whatever damage has happened will be recovered from the rioters. If they do not pay the money, then their property will be sold for the recovery. Wherever required, bulldozers will also be used,” said Devendra Fadnavis. “Today, I reviewed the incident that happened in Nagpur with the police officers. The entire sequence of events and the actions taken have been reviewed. The replica of Aurangzeb’s grave was burnt in the morning. An FIR was filed on it, but people gathered after a rumour was spread that a verse from the Quran was written on it. The crowd pelted stones and committed arson,” he added. “Based on CCTV footage, those who were rioting are being arrested. 104 people have been arrested so far. The police will arrest more people…Police action will be taken against those who are involved in the riots or are helping the rioters. Those who spread rumours on social media will also be made co-accused. 68 social media posts have been identified and deleted so far,” he added
