While Aurangzeb’s fanbois come up with some or the other excuse to justify mob violence and arson, this is not just a reaction to a suspiciously convenient rumour, rather, it is a calculated strategy to silence Hindus, psychologically bludgeon them into submission.

Several vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and a crane were set on fire by the rioters in Nagpur during the unrest.

As Islamists wreaked havoc in Nagpur, a concerted attempt is being made to make "Chhaava" take the rap for Aurangzeb's cruel and brutal legacy.

Muslims, who successfully orchestrated violence in Nagpur in 1923, assumed that it would be an easy task to repeat their carnage in 1927 but they were mistaken. The RSS had emerged as the first line of defence of the Hindu community under the leadership of KB Hedgewar.

On 17th March, tensions flared in Nagpur, Maharashtra, as violence erupted over rumours, including the burning of a copy of the Quran and a photograph, during a protest by Hindu groups demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Sambhaji Nagar.

A female eyewitness said, ""Mobsters came here, their faces were hidden with scarfs. They had swords, sticks and bottles in their hands. They started the ruckus, vandalised shops and pelted stones. Then they dragged the vehicles and torched them."

Clashes erupted between Hindu Groups and Islamists over unverified rumours of Quran burning during protests calling for the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb.

The horrific case surfaced in December 2023, when drug inspector Nitin Bhandarkar discovered that the drugs supplied to the rural hospital in Kalmeshwar were fake.

An IndiGo flight from Jabadlpur to Hyderabad was diverted to Nagpur on Sunday after receiving a bomb threat.

The victim, a resident of Chhattisgarh, was threatened with murder by the accused if she didn't give them money.
