On October 27, a series of bomb blasts rocked Patna at a massive election rally for BJP‘s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at Gandhi Maidan. Of the estimated 3,00,000 present at the “Hunkar” rally, six people were killed and many were injured. Investigations point to the role of the Indian Mujahideen. Earlier on July 7, a series of ten bombs exploded in and around the Mahabodhi Temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bodh Gaya.
