Tensions Escalate as Clashes Erupt in Maharashtra's Nanded District

In Maharashtra's Nanded district, 12 individuals face charges after two groups filed cross-complaints due to altercations in Naigaon tehsil. Initial conflict arose when one Ravindra Shivaji Bhilwande was allegedly attacked. Subsequent retaliation led to further cases as police continue investigating the matter.

Tensions flared in Maharashtra's Nanded district as clashes between two groups resulted in cases being registered against 12 individuals. The conflict, which erupted in Naigaon's Narsi area, saw cross-complaints lodged by the opposing parties.

The altercation initially began on February 11 when Ravindra Shivaji Bhilwande was reportedly attacked over a minor issue outside a grocery store. He subsequently filed a complaint leading to a case against six people, according to a Ramtirth police station official.

In a retaliatory move the following morning, Bhilwande, along with others, launched an assault on the initial group. This prompted another complaint, resulting in a case against Bhilwande and five others, with authorities continuing their investigation into the incident.
