The protests against 'Agnipath', the Modi govt's 4-year recruitment plan for the armed forces turned violent in Bihar as aspirants set trains ablaze and blocked roads. 

A set of protestors vandalised the BJP office in Bihar's Nawada district and burnt some of the properties present inside the premises. Videos show smoke billowing out of the office and broken furniture strewn across the room. 

Earlier, in the day Nawada MLA  Aruna Devi allleged that agitators  hurled stones at her car, leaving five persons, including her injured.

"The protesters seemed to have been provoked by the sight of the party flag, fitted on my car, which they tore. My driver, two security guards and two personal staff members have sustained injuries," the MLA told reporters, adding that she was "too shaken" to have registered a police complaint.
