As protests erupted around the country on Friday against disparaging allusions to the Prophet made by former BJP spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, one person was killed by a bullet in Ranchi, Jharkhand, as police fired into the air to disperse a crowd pelting stones.
Protests in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, and Howrah, West Bengal, became violent. Even though there was a shutdown in Srinagar, the protests in Delhi and parts of Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Bihar, and Maharashtra were calm.
In Ranchi, internet access was suspended until 6 a.m. on Saturday, and in Howrah, it was suspended until 6 a.m. on Monday.
