Police fire two rounds in Hindu minority area of Shahpur
Ahmedabad, 6 July 2010
A clash broke out in Ahmedabad’s Shahpur area on Monday night between Hindus and Muslims, prompting the State Reserve Police(SRP) jawans to fire two rounds in the air to bring the situation under control. No one was injured in the stone pelting and the situation was put under control.
The incident took place in the communally sensitive Shahpur area’s Bhilwas/Kalyanivas where Hindus are in minority. A clash broke out after an altercation between two groups over some a “petty” issue near Dargah where Sandal offering was on.
In wake of the Jagannath Rathyatra on July 13, SRP personnel have been deployed in the city’s communally sensitive areas, including Shahpur
