In Nashik, Maharashtra, a demolition drive targeting an unauthorized dargah led to violent clashes between police and a large crowd late at night. The Bombay High Court had ordered the removal of the Saat Peer Baba Dargah, prompting the Nashik Municipal Corporation to carry out the demolition. During the operation, which took place early in the morning, police reported that at least 21 personnel were injured as they were attacked by stone-pelting protesters. The police stated that approximately 1,500 individuals gathered at the site, resulting in chaos. In the aftermath, 15 individuals were detained for their involvement in the violence. The injured officers were transported to a local hospital for treatment, with one senior inspector sustaining injuries to both the chest and leg. The situation escalated as the crowd opposed the demolition, leading to damage to police vehicles and further injuries among both officers and civilians.
