The clashes have set off a huge political slugfest between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition BJP.
The Union Home Ministry has sought a report on the Ram Navami violence from the Bengal government, sources said today amid the huge political controversy triggered by clashes in two districts since Thursday.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had dialled Governor CV Ananda Bose earlier to assess the situation and is believed to have been briefed on the issue.
The Calcutta High Court has also sought a report on the violence after the state BJP filed a petition seeking probe by the National Investigation Agency.
On Friday, several vehicles were set on fire and shops ransacked as clashes between two groups broke out in Howrah during a Ram Navami procession.
