इशरत के अब्बू के राज में हिंदूओं को अपने त्योहार मनाने का अधिकार नहीं है एक तरफ मुस्लिम मूर्तियों पर पत्थर मारेंगे दूसरी तरफ पुलिस हाथ पैर तोड़ देगी।@Nationalist_Om @ModiBihar @girirajsinghbjp @OfficeOfGiriraj pic.twitter.com/rwcNfKPmJ8

Locals report that things got a little tensed when the Durga Visarjan procession reached Dukharni crossing in Gaya and police reached the place immediately. Upon reaching, the police started beating up the devotees in the pandal and even arrested some. In another video, one can see police brutally beating up people with sticks.
वीडियो में देखें कैसे नितिश कुमार की पुलिस निहत्थे हिंदूओं को जानवरों की तरह पीट रही है। कसूर बस इतना है की मूर्ति विसर्जन के दौरान मुस्लिमों द्वारा पथराव का विरोध करना।#शर्म करो #इशरत_के_अब्बू।@ModiBihar@SudarshanNewsTV @girirajsinghbjp @OfficeOfGiriraj pic.twitter.com/C5acmIP5B3

As per reports, the police indulged in lathicharging indiscriminately. Till now, 12 people have been arrested. As per reports, the police claims that five of them had consumed alcohol. Bihar is a dry state where there is alcohol prohibition. OpIndia tried to reach out to Gaya Police for a statement, but they were unreachable. We shall update the report once we hear from them.
Yesterday we had reported how stones were pelted on Durga Visarjan in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh as music was not stopped while passing by a mosque.
