According to local sources, a procession on the occasion of Ramnavami was organized by the Shaktipur Ramnavami festival celebration committee on Wednesday. When the procession reached near Shaktipur High School junction, some Jihadi miscreants suddenly started pelting bricks and stones from the roof-top at the Hindu participants of the procession. At least 20 persons were injured in the incident.

Local residents said that even though adequate police and central forces were present before and behind the procession on the occasion of Ramnavami, miscreants did not stop from pelting stones. After that, when the police tried to move the two conflicting sides with batons, suddenly massive bombardment started in the area.
