A major news update is coming from Rosera in Samastipur. Watch it now on P News. The situation turned tense on Wednesday after a statue of Mahatma Gandhi was vandalized.

Protesters Take Out ‘Funeral Procession’ of Administration
Angered by the delay in arresting the culprits and what they called police inaction, protesters staged a unique demonstration against the government and police administration. They carried out a symbolic funeral procession of Narendra Modi and the Samastipur Superintendent of Police (SP).
During the protest, slogans like “Down with the administration” and “India will not tolerate the insult of Bapu” were raised. The effigy was later set on fire as a mark of protest. Demonstrators demanded immediate reinstallation of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue and the identification and arrest of those responsible for vandalizing it.
It is reported that a large number of youths participated in the protest in the presence of Sanjeev Kumar Singh.
