Army called out in Ahmedabad

Army was called out in Ahmedabad on Tuesday after a fresh outbreak of communal violence left twelve persons dead.

Indefinite curfew has been imposed in several sensitive areas of the city.

The trouble started when a teacher belonging to a minority community was burnt alive by a mob near Sarkhej railway station.

In a retaliatory attack, another mob stabbed to death a pedestrian and set ablaze a truck on the national highway.

Police burst several teargas shells and opened fire to disperse the violent mob on the highway, killing four persons and injuring one.

A camel cart owner was kidnapped from Juhupura near Vejalpur and taken to a farm where he was burnt alive and his charred body thrown into a well, police said.

Three persons were stabbed fatally in Kalupur, while two more were killed in Kadiya Kui.

Police sources said army companies moved in trucks in the three violence-hit areas. BSF and CISF personnel were also seen patrolling the streets.
