Nawada (Bihar): An incident of stone pelting has been reported from the district here after some miscreants on Tuesday tore up posters and flags of Ram Navami festivity.

The poster incident triggered stone pelting on members of a community here.

As the news of tearing up of posters and flags spread, a mob gathered on the spot and pelted stones on members of a particular community, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Rajesh Kumar said.

A large number of vehicles were stranded on the NH-31 and nearby state highway due to the stone pelting incident, the SDO said.

To control the situation, District Magistrate Manoj Kumar and Superintendent of Police Vikas Varman rushed to the spot with police reinforcement and dispersed the mob, he said.

Senior district officials also visited the NH-31 to restore law and order in the area, Kumar said, adding that the situation was brought under control.
