- The violence began on March 17 during protests by right-wing groups demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb in Khultabad.
- Rumors of desecration of a holy book escalated tensions, leading to arson, stone-pelting, and attacks on police and fire brigade personnel in Nagpur's Mahal area.
- Authorities have detained over 50 individuals and imposed curfews in multiple areas to prevent further unrest, with investigations ongoing into the role of social media in spreading misinformation.
- Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde described the violence as a premeditated conspiracy, citing evidence such as stockpiled stones and targeted attacks.
- The opposition has criticized the ruling government for intelligence failures, while cultural tensions amplified by the movie 'Chhaava' are cited as a contributing factor to the unrest.
