Kanpur saw violent clashes & stone-pelting in Kanpur on June 3 as a Muslim mob unleashed mayhem on the streets and hurled stones at police. The riots broke out after a Muslim organisation called for shut down of shops to protest derogatory remarks on Prophet. When the group forcibly tried to shut down the shutters, it resulted into a fight between two groups.
An eight-member SIT team led by DCP Sanjeev Tyagi is probing the matter.
3 Samajwadi Party (MLA) are also under the scanner of police as they were reportedly part of WhatsApp groups that instigated riots. They alleged partisan behavior of UP police in rounding up the accused, a charge UP police denied outrightly.
UP MLC and BJP leader Mohsin Raza claimed that the clashes were pre-planned.
