    What's the story

    Communal tensions prevailed in Bihar on Sunday, a day after fresh violence was reported in the state's Nalanda and Rohtas districts.

    The violence that first broke out on Thursday during Ram Navami celebrations prompted the Bihar Police to make multiple arrests and have prohibitory orders in place in Nalanda's Bihar Sharif to ensure the law and order situation is under control.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The situation in Bihar escalated after two communities reportedly clashed in two different parts of the state on Saturday, leaving three individuals with bullet injuries.

    On Thursday, the police filed charges against 200 unidentified people after a Ram Navami procession entered a Muslim-dominated area in Munger.

    Not only in Bihar but communal clashes were also reported in other states like West Bengal and Maharashtra.

    Details

    Over 100 people arrested so far

    During the fresh incidents of violence in the two districts, houses, shops, and vehicles were reportedly set on fire, and numerous people sustained injuries in the communal riots across the state.

    According to the news outlet India Today, as many as 112 people have been arrested in Nalanda and Bihar Sharif after fresh violence flared up in the region.
