The SC refused to entertain pleas in the incidents of violence on Ram Navami processions in different parts of the country.

The Uttar Pradesh government imposed section 144 in Prayagraj on Saturday as a precaution and to preserve the state's law and order situation.

Be it Ram Navami or Hanuman Jayanti, every year, Hindus come under attack when they take their religious processions out and this year was no different.

Videos of the incident show continuous stone pelting near a masjid and adjacent lane. The bikes and scooters used in the rally are seen lying scattered as the stone pelting disrupts the bike rally. Police personnel were seen making futile attempts to prevent the mob from attacking.

The action comes after SRPF constable Himmatsinh Baria lodged a complaint on April 1.

Four people were left injured in the clashes that followed over the namaz row.

Train services suspended in Hooghly, West Bengal following fresh incidents of stone pelting.

Furfura Sharif cleric Pirzada Nazimuddin Hossein said the Ram Navami violence took place because it was taken out during azaan.

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.
