The local civic authorities on Monday demolished the two-story residence of Fahim Khan, the alleged 'mastermind' behind the Nagpur violence on March 17, citing illegal construction, reported the PTI.

The operation, which involved bulldozers and a heavy police presence assisted by drones, also saw the removal of an illegally constructed balcony at the house of another accused, Yusuf Sheikh, in the Mahal area where the riots occurred, according to the PTI.
