Police attacked in Ahmedabad’s Shahpur while rescuing calves

Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 11 November, 2009
A group of Muslims attacked and damaged a Police Control Room(PCR) van on Wednesday in city’s Shahpur area.
The incident took place after police got the information about illegal trafficking of calves meant for slaughter, reached the place and rescued 11 calves.
A group of Muslims in narrow streets of Shahpur pelted stones over the police force and PCR van, apparently to prevent police from performing their duty and to make their point that such actions of rescuing calves meant for slaughter in their area can invite trouble for police.
The situation could be controlled only after extra police force arrived.
Police have filed complaint against group of 50 people.
Shahpur is Ahmedabad’s Muslim dominated area. The area was Hindu dominated once upon a time. Now Hindus are in minority here. Frequent attacks on minority Hindus and police is now a routine activity here.
