India news Live Updates, 29 September 2026: Heavy police deployment in Ujjain near Shahi Masjid after clashes
Police presence remains strong near the historic Shahi Masjid in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, with local markets remaining closed following tense overnight clashes. Efforts to voluntarily remove a section of the mosque for a road-widening project are scheduled to resume on Tuesday morning, according to a committee member quoted by news agency PTI.
The unrest in Ujjain appears to have been fueled by the circulation of fabricated AI videos showing the complete demolition of the historic structure, which has heightened local anxieties ahead of the planned partial clearances. Police investigations have confirmed that miscreants disseminated these misleading videos, exacerbating tensions in the city.
Despite ongoing administrative efforts and community dialogues, heavy security measures continue to be in place around sensitive areas.
