One person dead in Aurangabad violence

Prohibitory orders were imposed in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad city on Saturday after at least 30 people, including 10 policemen, were injured in riots that started on Friday night.

Scores of vehicles and shops were also set ablaze.

The violence was purportedly triggered after a few people from the city’s Gandhinagar locality beat a garage mechanic in the area for refusing to give them money for liquor. This incident fires tensions in neighbourhoods such as Motikaranja, Raja Bazar, Shahgunj, Chelipura and Anguribagh, where groups of people pelted stones at each other.

Videos on social media showed the police reportedly firing live ammunition rounds and teargas shells. Though senior police authorities refused to speak on the matter, a 17-year old resident of Rengtipura locality succumbed to bullet injuries at MGM hospital. It quoted an unidentified police official as saying that an independent corporator was responsible for instigating the violence.
