On more somber note, People in general from other parts of the india are taken back at the news of "Prashant Tamang fans" beating hospital patients. Well, from what I heard, that is wrong information that is being spread. The riot actually started when some local people started beating two girls who were at the very end of the peaceful procession. In this age of instant communication, wrong news spread so fast that it is dfficult to fix it once it spreads and mind you wrong information is always intentionally spread to discredit the other party by a news group or new reporter (in this case some bengali ) who obviously has a hidden agenda in exploiting the information for some some gain from an individual or some group. There were some people with stones and sticks waiting to attack the procession from behind and create chaos. When the procession went by they started attacking and the procession responded back.. It is obviously the intent of the reporter to discredit nepali people by reporting wrong information so that we lose support among reasonable people in the rest of India since no one likes to hear about patients being attacked.
