Violent clashes ensue between two communities in Patna on Monday following the alleged killing of a Muslim businessman.

When people of Muslim community came to know about the cold-blooded murder, they turned violent and came on the streets to attack Hindus.

"A group 10-20 Muslims came and started beating a Hindu guy. When the neighbours went to save him, they started throwing crude bombs at us," said Sadanand, a local.

Clashes ensued following the attacks and situations worsened.

Police personnel had to air-fire in a bid to control the situation and disperse the clashing mob.
