Nagpur violence: How online rumour mongering instigated Muslim mobs

Op India  

On the evening of 17th March, Nagpur underwent violent unrest that left more than 30 people wounded over rumours of the burning of a copy of the Quran during a protest by Hindu organisations demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Aasif Mujtaba who claims to be a journalist and an IIT Delhi scholar alleged that it was “violence between two communities” which only transpired after an “effigy of Aurangzeb and a sheet with Quranic verses was burned by Hindutva groups.” However, it is to be expected from a member of the “Shaheen Bagh movement” which resulted in the anti-Hindu violence in Delhi under the pretext of anti-CAA protests. A popular account masquerading as a “Muslim activist” was no different and insisted that the violence was provoked by Bajrang Dal members who burned a chadar displaying Quranic verses. He added, “Attacks on police will not be tolerated, strict action will be taken.” The violence was described as a “planned conspiracy” by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as well. A person mentioned, “I had gone to drop my wife off at the railway station, and while returning I saw a large unruly mob passing through the Chitnis Park square, where a mosque stands.” A witness reported seeing a group of at least 500 to 600 guys in the Mahal area screaming “Allahu Akbar” and “Labaik-Ya-Rasool-Allah.” He also disclosed that his automobile was struck by one of the stones thrown by them.
