Aurangabad violence pre-planned,fall-out of local unrestAurangabad violence pre-planned fall-out of local unrest The riot in Aurangabad city last week appeared to be pre-planned and the result of simmering unrest over the civic body's drive against illegal water connection, a police report has said. Two persons were killed in clashes in this central Maharashtra city on April 11 and 12. Aurangabad police commissioner has submitted a report on the violence to the state director general of Police, an official said here.
"There was a month-long unrest over the Municipal corporation crack-down on illegal water connections and some other civic issues in the area (where the violence started)," he said. The special investigation team of city police found petrol bombs and balls of kerosene-soaked balls during searches, suggesting that the violence was pre-planned, he said. Police also found stones, collected for hurling through catapults at police or rival groups, he said.
Over 50 persons have been arrested following the violence.
Laxminarayan Bakharia alias Lachchu Pahelwan, alleged mastermind of the violence, was held two days ago. Before that, Shiv Sena corporator Rajendra Janjal and All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) corporator Feroz Khan were arrested.
The violence left a 65-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy dead and around 60 others, including a dozen policemen, injured. Several shops and vehicles were gutted.
Meanwhile, authorities have denied permission for the Sena's protest march through the city tomorrow for seeking "proper probe" of the violence, a police official said.

The city has installed 31 CCTV cameras at nine crucial junctions, enabling law enforcement agencies to have a proper vigil on vehicular movement.
The facilities are part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative of Good year Tyre . The tyre company, which has a major manufacturing unit in Aurangabad, has partnered with NGO International Association for Human Values (IAHV), for design implementation of a road safety programme in the city.
"These cameras have helped increase the safety of women and maintain law and order at the identified location. The cameras have also helped us in property-related cases," said Rahul Shrirame, deputy police commissioner, in a press release. He added, "This is the first time that a large company like Goodyear is partnering with the local police for a road safety project in Aurangabad. This integrated approach to improve infrastructure and change behaviour of drivers is really powerful."
NGO CEO Ramesh R said the CCTV project was an excellent example of how the private sector, the government and the implementing agency can partner to create meaningful and tangible outcomes in a time-bound manner.
As a part of its CSR initiative in 2017, Goodyear partnered with IAHV for improving the road safety measures in Aurangabad and has been undertaking different road safety programmes.
The IAHV-Goodyear Road Safety Program aims to improve the road safety measures by improving enforcement infrastructure, creating awareness among citizens on road safety and de-stressing drivers, said sources.
As a part of the project activities, road safety workshops have been held for school bus drivers and school children with more than 500 bus drivers and 500 school children getting sensitized so far. "Our strength is community mobilization by literally driving mind-set change so that the individual takes responsibility of becoming a better human and then inspire others to change," stated Ramesh.
Maharashtra state Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHE) has extended the registration date for candidates appearing for Secondary School Certificate (SSC) 2018 examinations till November 21.
