The Uttar Pradesh government has told the Supreme Court that demolitions of illegal structures were carried out by its Kanpur and Prayagraj municipal bodies as per law and were not related to punishing the accused involved in violent protests following remarks by two BJP leaders on Prophet Mohammed.
The row over the remarks against Prophet Muhammad continued to rage as the UP government demolished the home of the key accused in the Prayagraj violence, while mobs attacked trains in West Bengal’s Nadia in protest.
A wave of fresh violence was reported in West Bengal's Howrah on Saturday, while tension prevailed in several other parts of the country after Friday's protests against controversial remarks on the Prophet. Authorities suspended the Internet and tightened security in the affected areas as they cracked down on protesters.
