Authorities in Nagpur have deployed 18 dedicated police teams to arrest individuals involved in recent violent clashes, as confirmed by officials on Thursday. With 69 arrests already made, law enforcement continues its pursuit using CCTV evidence to track more suspects.

Leading the arrests is Minority Democratic Party's Fahim Khan, accused of orchestrating a protest outside a police station that escalated into mass unrest. Khan's history of alleged criminal activities, including protests and electricity theft, complicates his involvement.

Approximately 33 officers sustained injuries during the chaos that saw the destruction of property and assaults on law enforcement. The violence was allegedly sparked by rumors about a religious artifact, intensifying tensions and resulting in widespread mayhem.
