Several towns in southeastern Nepal remained under curfew on Friday as the region grappled with lingering ​tensions after days of sectarian violence that erupted on ‌Sunday and left at least three people dead, authorities said. Twenty-five people were injured in a late-night clash on Sunday between Hindus and Muslims in ​Diwanganj, a town in Nepal’s Sunsari district bordering India, ​with officials saying the violence was triggered by a ⁠dispute over loud music and religious flags during a Hindu ​event. Two men were shot and killed in Sunsari on Sunday ​and a third death was reported in neighbouring Siraha district on Thursday as sporadic clashes continued in the area. Police spokesperson Abi Narayan Kafle said ​the incidents were under investigation. There was no violence on Friday, ​police said, but an indefinite curfew was in place in several towns ‌to ⁠prevent any recurrence.
