Lucknow: At least one
person was killed and several injured late Sunday when communal
violence broke out in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, police
said Monday. Curfew has been clamped in the city.
Trouble erupted when some Muslims objected to music being played
by the Kanwariyas or the Shiv devotees who were returning from
Haridwar.
Outraged, the Kanwariyas resorted to violence, vandalized shops
and public property and set on fire many vehicles in the Jogi
Navada locality, a police officer said.
One person was killed in the firing in Math Chowki area.
According to police, at least two dozen people were injured in the
violence that broke out in many parts of the city and continued
past midnight.
Hundreds of people emerged from their houses in Shahdana area
while a police team was attacked in Azamnagar.
Many policemen, including the superintendent of police (SP), were
injured in the stone pelting.
Police lobbed tear gas shells at the mobs but could not contain
the violence.
Senior police officials, including the Additional Director General
of Police Jag Mohan Yadav, rushed to Bareilly early Monday morning
to contain violence and restore normalcy.
The Bareilly district administration has clamped curfew in the
city.
Soldiers of the provincial armed constabulary have been deployed
at several sensitive localities, an official told IANS.

Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
