Curfew Lifted in Nagpur: City Recovers After Violent Clashes

Curfew in Nagpur was lifted on Sunday, six days after violence erupted over rumors of a holy relic's desecration. The incident followed VHP-led protests against Aurangzeb's tomb. Over 100 arrests were made. Officials have committed to recouping damages from rioters and enforcing strict measures against violence perpetrators.

Curfew in Nagpur was lifted on Sunday from the last four affected areas following violent clashes earlier in the week, according to officials.

The unrest erupted amid rumors that a sacred relic was desecrated during protests against Aurangzeb's tomb. The authorities described these rumors as baseless and mischievous.

Police have detained more than 100 individuals in connection to the violence, which led to injuries among over 30 officers. Chief Minister Fadnavis stated that damages would be reclaimed from the rioters, with potential property seizures to recover costs.
