The probe has also not found indications of planned violence in Amravati on Saturday, when around 6,000 persons from the BJP and Hindutva organisations took to the streets and two shops and four vehicles were gutted.
THE INITIAL assessment of the Maharashtra police on the violence that broke out in Amravati, Malegaon and Nanded is that it was not a planned act but a “spur of the moment reaction” of 80-100 persons who were part of an 8000-strong mob that had gathered on Friday to protest against violence faced by Muslims in Tripura.
The probe has also not found indications of planned violence in Amravati on Saturday, when around 6,000 persons from the BJP and Hindutva organisations took to the streets and two shops and four vehicles were gutted.
The police are, however, still looking for some of the accused, whose questioning will help bring more clarity on the cause of the violence.
