Nagpur Violence: Police arrest 14 more, total reaches 105

Digital Desk: The Nagpur police have made significant progress in their investigation into the recent violence outbreak, arresting 14 more individuals on Friday. This brings the total number of arrests to 105, with 10 juveniles among those detained.

The turmoil began on March 17, when rumors spread that a sheet bearing a verse from the Quran had been burned during a demonstration led by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

The violence resulted in large-scale stone pelting and arson, injuring 33 police personnel, including three Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank officers.

Faheem Khan, the accused in the recent Nagpur riots, was apprehended on March 18 and has since filed a bail plea, alleging that his arrest is the result of a political conspiracy.
