Apart from this, the department has sought information from Facebook, X, Instagram and YouTube officials about 230 profiles on their platforms and has demanded to block them.

The accused in Kamlesh Tiwari murder case is also on the police radar.

The police have found many important clues in the violence that broke out in Nagpur city. After the arrest of the mastermind of the violence, Fahim Khan, the police are looking for another person named Syed Asim Ali. Asim Ali was arrested in Lucknow in the murder case of Hindu Samaj Party President Kamlesh Tiwari. Nagpur Police has also released Asim's picture. Intelligence information has revealed that secret meetings were held at three places before the Nagpur violence. Selected people who influenced society were called to this meeting.

The police suspect Asim Ali's participation in the secret meeting held in West Nagpur. He is a staunch supporter of Aurangzeb. The police raided Asim's house but he was not found. It is suspected that in the closed-room meeting, a strategy was made on how to gather people and in which area to spread violence. Under this strategy, the rioters first confused the police in Chitnis Park. The police arrangement was at Bhagwadhar Chowk where two groups come face to face every time. But, the rioters chose Geetanjali Chowk. The police are also investigating whether only local people were involved in the Nagpur violence or whether outsiders were also active behind the scenes.

ATS, and IB are also gathering information

After the suspicion of Asim Ali's involvement in the conspiracy, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Intelligence Bureau (IB), and SID of the state police have also started collecting information. Those who organized secret meetings before the violence were especially on the radar of the investigating agency. Let us tell you that in October 2019, Hindu Samaj Party leader Kamlesh Tiwari was murdered in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
