Communal tensions erupted in southern Nepal, near the Indian border, following protests over a TikTok video with alleged religious content. Demonstrations in Birgunj against the vandalism of a mosque in Dhanusha escalated, leading police to use tear gas shells. Three individuals were detained for allegedly posting the video and participating in the vandalism. The situation has since normalized, but authorities are monitoring social media and warning against activities that disrupt social harmony. Security has been heightened in the Madhesh province.
