Violence in Baroda; indefinite curfew in six areas

At least two persons were stabbed to death and another injured in Dantiwad and Lal Akhara localities of Baroda, prompting authorities to re-impose indefinite curfew in six police station areas of the city on Friday.

One person was stabbed to death and one injured in Dantiwad Bazar area, while another was killed in Lal Akhara area by some unidentified persons, the police said.

Indefinite curfew was re-imposed in six police station areas of Baroda -- city police station, Wadi, Panigate, Raopura, Karelibaug and Navagam -- from 1.30 pm.

In Ahmedabad the situation remained peaceful, but tense even as the curfew restrictions were strictly observed in the four police station areas of Kalupur, Karanj, Shahpur and Dariapur.

Thursday's clashes in city areas had left at least six dead and some 15 injured.

Curfew was also being strictly imposed in the riot-affected town of Himmatnagar in Sabarkantha, which was gripped by tension on Thursday after the recovery of the body of a missing youth.

Modasa town in Sabarkantha district was also under curfew after group clashes on Tuesday claimed the lives of two persons.
