A day after Islamists ran riots and pelted stones on a Ram Navami procession in Howrah, West Bengal, a fresh round of violence was reported from the area today.
Suspecting that the attack was pre-planned, Bajrang Dal leader Ketan Trivedi said that when the Ram Navami procession was passing through the area, suddenly a Muslim man brought a bike without a number plate and hit a car involved in the procession.
The procession was attacked as it passed by the Masjid near the gate no 7 area. The radical mob pelted stones and also injured the participants in the procession.
The report added that provisions are being made to prevent any law and order situation, which may arise after the Jumma Namaz is conducted. It further stated that the police and administration in West Bengal and Gujarat are taking precautionary steps to avoid untoward incidents after the Friday prayers.
