Tensions flared in Bihar’s Darbhanga on Saturday as a clash broke out between two groups during a Ram Vivah procession. The incident occurred on Friday when a Ram Vihah tableau was being carried out from Darbhanga’s Tarouni village.

As the Ram Vivah tableau reached Bajitpur, some miscreants allegedly started pelting stones, resulting in injuries to some people who were part of the procession. Soon the two groups came face to face and clashed with each other using sticks and stones.
