Who is Fahim Shamim Khan, the suspected mastermind behind Nagpur violence?

Khan, as per the authorities, has been identified as the alleged mastermind behind the clashes that erupted in parts of Nagpur on Monday following a rumour that a religious book was burnt during the protest by right-wing groups against the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb.

Khan was arrested shortly after he was named in the FIR in connection with the recent Nagpur clashes and has been remanded to police custody until March 21.

A senior police officer stated that preliminary investigations and video evidence suggest Khan’s speech directly incited the violence.
