The Nagpur police have arrested Hamid Engineer, national working president of the Minorities Democratic Party (MDP), on Friday evening, for his alleged role in the recent communal violence in Nagpur.
NAGPUR:
Confirming the arrest, Deputy Commissioner of Police and in-charge of Nagpur Police's Cyber Cell, Lohit Matani, said a YouTuber, Mohammad Shahzad Khan, was also arrested and taken into custody in connection with the case. Khan, too, is linked to the MDP.
Meanwhile, the violence has claimed one life, with a resident of Garib Nawaz Nagar, who had been beaten up near Geetanjali Chowk and Hansapuri, succumbing to his injuries on Saturday morning.
Investigations revealed that the two arrested accused, Hamid Engineer and Mohammad Shahzad Khan, had allegedly incited the violence through social media, Matani said. The Cyber Cell found that on the day of the violence, Engineer had allegedly made inflammatory statements on his YouTube channel, leading to his arrest.
