Nagpur violence: No cloth with Quranic verses burnt; rioters will be `dug out from graves’, says CM

MUMBAI: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said contrary to rumours, no `chadar’ or cloth with Quranic verses was burnt during a protest in Nagpur city, and vowed to “dig out from their graves” those who attacked police during the subsequent violence.

Rioters allegedly misbehaved with a woman constable and tried to disrobe her during the violence on Monday night. Mobs hurled stones and petrol bombs, injuring 33 police personnel including three Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank officers.

The violence had been planned to disturb social harmony, claimed Fadnavis, an MLA from Nagpur and also the state home minister, speaking in the legislative assembly.
