Communal tensions have erupted in southern Nepal, particularly in Birgunj and Dhanusha districts near the Indian border, following the vandalism of a mosque and the viral spread of religiously provocative content on TikTok. Authorities imposed and extended a curfew in Birgunj, with security forces authorized to use force. India has sealed its border crossings with Nepal, allowing only emergency services. The unrest originated from alleged anti-Hindu content shared online, leading to protests, clashes with police, and arrests.
