Indian Home Ministry requests report on Ram Navami violence in Bengal: reports

The Indian Home Ministry has requested a report on the Ram Navami violence from the Bengal administration, according to reports today, amid the major political scandal sparked by confrontations in two districts since Thursday. In order to examine the situation, Indian Home Minister Amit Shah had previously called Governor CV Ananda Bose, who is thought to have received information about it. The state BJP petitioned for an investigation by the National Investigation Agency, and in response, the Calcutta High Court has also requested a report on the violence. On Friday, fighting between two groups broke out in Howrah during a Ram Navami parade. Many cars were set on fire, and stores were plundered.
