Violence sweeps Bengal's Basirhat district after Facebook post 'disrespects the Prophet Mohammad'
Communal tensions have flared-up once again in the Basirhat district in Bengal after a supposedly disrespectful Facebook post concerning the Prophet Mohammad began circulating online.
What began as a protest soon escalated into a violent roving mob ransacking houses of the majority Hindu community in the district.
It is believed that dozens of businesses, houses, and at least six police vehicles, were torched by a mob in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district.
The incident began after a class 11 student posted a 'blasphemous' message on Facebook.
The student in question, according to Indian news sources - a Hindu, was arrested on Sunday night and prohibitory orders were enforced.
