Act of 'revenge' by Nagpur civic body: Kin of riots accused on demolition drive
NAGPUR: The brother of Yusuf Sheikh, an accused in the March 17 communal violence in Nagpur, has claimed the civic body started demolition of a portion of their house despite the family having all sanctions and possessing documents for the building.
Ayaz Sheikh claimed the house of his brother was built legally and alleged that the Nagpur Municipal Corporation's (NMC) action on Monday to demolish its balcony, on the ground that it was "unauthorised", was an act of "revenge".
The demolition was stayed after the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court intervened following pleas by Yusuf Sheikh and Fahim Khan, an alleged mastermind behind the communal violence.
