Violent clashes erupted in India — Cuttack district, India — Odisha, during a Durga idol immersion procession late Friday night, reportedly due to objections over loud music. The altercation escalated into stone-pelting and bottle-throwing, injuring several people, including India — Cuttack district Deputy Commissioner of Police Khilari Rishikesh Dnyandeo. Fresh violence broke out on Sunday during a motorcycle rally organized by Vishva Hindu Parishad, which defied administrative orders, leading to further clashes, fires, and vandalism.
