Protests erupted across the country on Friday, with demonstrators demanding action and the arrest of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and her former party colleague Naveen Kumar Jindal for their statements against Prophet Mohammed.
Protests took place in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Ranchi, Ahmedabad, Navi Mumbai, Ludhiana, Hyderabad, and Jammu and Kashmir, with violence in certain regions.
Authorities in the affected areas shut down the Internet and increased security as they clamped down on demonstrators reportedly participating in the violence and skirmishes with police, arresting over 250 individuals in Uttar Pradesh alone.
