Protests erupted across several parts of the nation on Friday against the Prophet row, with the agitators demanding action and arrest of the suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and her former party colleague Naveen Jindal.
The said leaders had allegedly made controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammed.
Protests were witnessed in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Ranchi, Ahmedabad, Navi Mumbai, Ludhiana, Hyderabad and Jammu & Kashmir.
The protest turned violent in Prayagraj and police had to take action against many people. However the situation is under control.
In Delhi, shops were partially closed in some minority areas as massive police deployment was enforced to avoid untoward situation.
A massive protest broke out at Jama Masjid in the national capital.
"People had gathered in large numbers for just 15-20 minutes after which the crowd dispersed. The situation is now under control," a senior Delhi Police official said.
