• Authorities have arrested over 100 individuals, including Fahim Khan, who is accused of orchestrating the unrest through inflammatory speeches and circulating edited videos.
• Maharashtra's Cyber Cell identified over 140 provocative social media posts, including one traced to Bangladesh, which fueled the communal tensions.
