The police till Saturday arrested 45 people in connection with the communal violence at Sasaram and Bihar Sharif.

Vehicles, houses, and shops were torched and several people were injured in the communal flare-ups reported in both towns. In Sasaram, the district administration ordered imposition of prohibitory orders on Friday afternoon after the re-eruption of clashes.

Home Minister Shah had cancelled his proposed Sunday tour of Sasaram where prohibitory orders are in place. State BJP chief Samrat Choudhary blamed the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar for the cancellation of the function at Sasaram, organised to celebrate the birth anniversary of Emperor Asoka.
