In a recent incident near Mumbai’s Mira Road, a scuffle erupted between two communities, prompting the intervention of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The clash occurred ahead of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, and Fadnavis has taken swift action, with 13 individuals already arrested and efforts underway to identify additional suspects.
Deputy Chief Minister Fadnavis shared updates on the situation via social media, stating that he received comprehensive details of the incident in the Nayanagar area of Mira-Bhyander. He maintained constant communication with the Mira-Bhyander Police Commissioner until the early hours of Monday, emphasizing strict instructions to the police to take decisive action against the accused. Fadnavis conveyed a stern message, asserting that any attempts to disrupt law and order in Maharashtra would not be tolerated.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Jayant Bajbale, the conflict ignited around 11 pm on Sunday when members of the Hindu community began chanting slogans in several vehicles in the Naya Nagar area. An argument ensued between the Hindu community and some individuals from the Muslim community, prompting the swift arrival of the police to diffuse the situation. Several people were taken into custody as a preventive measure.
The Deputy Commissioner assured that the situation has been brought under control, and a flag march was conducted in the area to reinforce security. The Naya Nagar Police registered a case against five individuals, promptly arresting them and initiating an investigation into the matter. The official highlighted that the police are diligently examining CCTV footage to identify other suspects involved in the incident.
As the investigation unfolds, further details into the root causes and circumstances surrounding the communal clash are eagerly awaited. The authorities are committed to ensuring the maintenance of law and order, and additional measures may be implemented to prevent any recurrence of such incidents in the future.
