On 27 October 2013, a series of bomb blasts rocked the Indian city of Patna, Bihar at a massive election rally for BJP Prime Ministerial candidate and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Of the estimated 300,000 participants at the "Hunkar" rally, six people were killed and 85 others were injured in eight bomb blasts. No one initially claimed responsibility for the bombings. In 2021, terrorists from the Indian Mujahideen, which had been the first suspects, and Students' Islamic Movement of India were convicted for carrying out the attacks.
