Nagpur riots: 'Bulldozer action' against 'instigator' key accused
Hindustan Times Pune
|March 25, 2025
On Monday, bulldozers tore down the two-storey home of Fahim Khan, described by the Nagpur police as "an instigator, if not the mastermind" of the violence that consumed Nagpur a week ago.
NAGPUR:
The move follows a warning from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday that the rioters would have to pay for the damage wrought by the violence, even if it meant using bulldozers on their property.
According to Khan's neighbours in the Sanjay Bagh area in North Nagpur, Khan's family went missing on Sunday night, taking their belongings with them.
No one knows their whereabouts, the neighbours claimed. Hours later, at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, a team of anti-encroachment personnel, backed by 150 policemen, cordoned off Khan's home and then tore it down.
