The Shia community across India observed the eighth day of mourning for Prophet Muhammad's grandson with Muharram processions on Monday.

Srinagar commemorated the day for the second year running, while Bihar's Nawada saw clashes and subsequent arrests over the waving of Palestinian flags. Local authorities have called for investigations into the incidents.

In Uttar Pradesh, police detained multiple people, including Uday Pratap Singh, father of MLA Raghuraj Pratap Singh, amidst rising tensions. Additional investigations were prompted by provocative slogans heard during a procession in Amethi.
