2013 Patna bombings
The 2013 Patna bombings were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that occurred on October 27, 2013, in Patna, the capital of Bihar, India. The bombings took place during a rally organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in support of its prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi. Multiple explosions, including a powerful blast near Gandhi Maidan, resulted in the deaths of six individuals and injured over 80 others. The attacks were attributed to the banned militant group Indian Mujahideen, which aimed to instill fear and disrupt the political landscape ahead of the upcoming national elections. The incident prompted widespread condemnation and highlighted concerns about security measures during public events in India.
