Explaining the incident, he said that a crowd of 100 people suddenly came from a street, carrying weapons, petrol, and sticks. He tried to push them back.
“The way stones were being pelted from all sides, some of our officials were also injured… A crowd of 100 people suddenly came from another street. They had weapons, petrol, and sticks. My team was there, so my natural reaction was to stop them or push them back; otherwise, anything could have happened,” he added.

Meanwhile, a curfew was imposed in multiple areas of Nagpur city under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) following tensions over the demand to remove Aurangzeb’s grave.
