Objectionable posts were found on his social media account. These accounts are being closed. 46 accused have been booked so far, and they will be in police custody till 21st March.

The Nagpur riot accused are outsiders

Information is that those who were involved in this riot were mostly  outsiders. Investigation is underway. To fuel the fire,‘Alla hu Akbar’ and ‘Sar tan se Juda’ posts were circulated. Those who have circulated such posts have been accused of sedition. (It is a shame for Nagpur Police that religious fanatics come from outside, create unrest and manage to flee. What was Intelligence department doing ? If tomorrow outsiders come to Nagpur and cause catastrophe, who will be responsible ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

Only death penalty can be a deterrent for such rioters.
