India, Oct. 12 -- Several people sustained injuries after supporters of the BJP and Congress clashed with sticks and stones in Jamshedpur on Monday, following a protest march that reached the Congress's East Singhbhum district headquarters. Both parties accused each other of triggering the violence.

The rally, organised by the BJP Mahila Morcha, was demanding the arrest of Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, who was dismissed from his position as a professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) last week following an inquiry into allegations of sexual harassment of students.

The confrontation erupted when the procession, which began at G Town Maidan, reached the Congress office in the Bistupur area.
