Violent clashes erupted in Murshidabad, West Bengal, during a Ram Navami procession on Wednesday, leaving several people injured. Videos circulated on social media showed stones being hurled at the procession from rooftops. The police resorted to lathicharge and firing tear gas shells to disperse the mob. The situation was eventually brought under control with additional forces deployed in the area. The BJP accused the state government of failing to maintain law and order, while the ruling Trinamool Congress alleged a conspiracy to incite riots. Tensions have been high in the region after previous incidents of violence during religious festivities.
