Bloody clashes in Bihar ahead of trust vote

Ahead of the trust vote, supporters of former allies BJP and JD(U) on Tuesday clashed on the streets here during a day-long saffron party-sponsored Bihar bandh as normal life was hit and train services were disrupted.

 Over 3,200 people, including BJP leaders Sushil Kumar Modi, Ravi Shankar Prasad and C P Thakur were arrested.

A clash broke out on the Veer Chand Patel Path, which hosts offices of both JD(U) and BJP, with lathi-wielding supporters of the two parties attacking each other, which resulted in injuries on both sides.

Before being arrested, former deputy chief minister Modi said the bandh was successful.
