Bihar: One killed, over 25 injured in firing episode during Durga idol immersion in Munger #IndiaNEWS
One person was killed allegedly in police firing in Bihar’s Munger town after violent clashes erupted between the police and a group of people over delay in the immersion ceremony of a Durga idol, the Hindustan Times reported. Over 25 persons, including 20 personnel were injured in the clashes, which took place on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.An altercation reportedly broke out over the manner in which the ceremony took place. Prakash Bhagat, a member of a committee overseeing the immersion, told the newspaper that more than 53 Durga idols were installed in Munger. Out of these, 15 were taken for immersion in the Ganga river at the Deendayal Chowk on the night of the clashes. Traditionally, the idols are immersed after three days of Vijayadashami. But the police this time insisted on immersing them before 5 am on Tuesday, in view of the first phase of the Assembly elections in the state. Several organisers objected to this and allegedly started pelting stones at the police. The personnel responded by baton charging the angry crowd. When the situation escalated, they reportedly opened fire. Later personnel from the Bihar Military Police and paramilitary forces were also deployed in the affected areas.#Munger #MungerDanga #BadiDurgaVisarjan #MisuseofLaw @MungerDm #Munger_Administration_Explain why was it needed ??...Read more
