To keep the mob that poured out onto the road after Friday prayers and threw stones and yelled slogans under control, police fired in the air and used lathi-charge.
A large mob gathered on Main Road, shouting slogans against Sharma and Naveen Jindal, former head of the Delhi BJP’s media unit.
To handle the situation and prevent any unfortunate incidents, a large security deployment has been created.
According to authorities, the protest started early in the morning and picked up speed after Friday prayers. Many shops and establishments kept their shutters down in protest against the remarks.
Protesters set fire to and vandalised vehicles, and stone-pelting was reported in Ranchi, where a curfew has been imposed.
