Civic authorities to demolish illegal portions of Nagpur violence accused Fahim Khan's house after failed removal attempt.
Civic authorities are on Monday (March 24, 2025) likely to demolish the illegal portions of a house of Fahim Khan, a key accused in the Nagpur violence who has been booked for sedition, after he failed to remove the unauthorised structure.
Khan, a leader of the Minority Democratic Party (MDP), is among the over 100 persons arrested for the violence in Maharashtra's Nagpur city on March 17.
A few days back, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation issued a notice to Khan, citing various lapses and lack of the building plan approval (for his house), sources said.
The house, located at Sanjay Bagh Colony in Yashodhara Nagar area here, registered in the name of Khan's wife, they said.
MDP city chief Khan is currently lodged in a jail.
The violence erupted on March 17, after rumours spread that a ‘chadar’ with religious inscriptions had been burnt during protests led by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
The clashes resulted in widespread stone-pelting and arson across several parts of the city, leaving 33 police personnel, including three Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank officers, injured.

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) is set to enable additional flight connectivity to Bengaluru, during the summer schedule of airlines, beginning from March 30. Passengers will be able to choose from the nine daily flights that IndiGo and Air India Express will operate to Bengaluru during the schedule.
