Investigation is intensifying in the Nagpur riots case, what happened on March 17th evening?
00:06
Cops have now said as the Maharashtra cyber cell is tracking the latest on that.
00:11
We have identified provocative posts related to the riots.
00:14
We have issued notice to take down and any information of the posts coming in.
00:18
Basically, I quote from what the Maharashtra cyber cell is saying.
00:21
We have identified a few people who posted provocative social media posts and they are being sent notice.
00:27
Remember that there was some humor mongering, misinformation campaign that was led
00:32
about something that was burnt possibly by the Hindu groups in the protest.
00:37
By evening, while Hindu groups had gone back and dispersed, by 7pm this is what happened.
00:44
A mob appeared starting to vandalize parts of the city, attacking even houses, homes
00:53
and you can see the number of people out on the streets with sticks and rods and much worse.
00:59
Vidya joins me on the phone line for the latest on that.
01:02
Vidya, tell us how the Maharashtra cyber cell is leading the investigation on this and what are they looking into?
01:10
Well, there is an issue that the Chief Minister himself had pointed out wherein he had stated that
01:17
this entire mob violence had started after social media posts wrongly stating that there was a chadar that was burnt
01:27
or a tomb desecrated that has led to this entire mob.
01:32
And the way the mob went around rampaging wherein they attacked policemen and even tried to, as he said,
01:43
women police cops were molested and the mob even tried to strip off.
01:49
That was not right and that's one of the reasons why the police is taking strict action against those people
01:56
who have vandalized and went around creating such a ruckus in this city.
02:04
And that's one of the reasons why the Chief Minister very clearly stated that everyone will be identified
02:12
even if they have to be brought in from wherever they are hiding.
02:16
And that has to be a state call that irrespective what community, group, anywhere they would be,
02:25
nobody should be allowed to indulge in mob violence and disturb law and order
02:29
on some random issues in which the mob can suddenly emerge and look at that violence and aggression.
02:36
Thank you Vidya. We will be tracking how Maharashtra government and the police ensures that this is never repeated again in the state.
