Varanasi police baton-charged pilgrims on Wednesday. The worshippers were trying to bring their Ganesha idols to place in River Ganga, however, the Allahabad High Court had banned the practice of immersing idols in the river from 2013 onwards, due to pollution. When the path was blocked to the river by police, unrest broke. The age-old tradition's ban has led to escalating tensions, with worshippers believing an exception could have been accommodated. The unrest led to multiple injuries of pilgrims.
