One person was killed in clashes between members of two communities in Mathak village of Morbi district of Gujarat. Following the incident, the police booked three persons for murder and filled two separate FIRs against a mob for resorting to violence.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night when 30-year-old Tausif Hussein Vadgama was killed after an altercation between members of two communities turned violent.
According to sources, one Yograjsinh had clicked a picture of a woman that led to argument between Tausif and Yograjsinh, who stabbed Tausif to death. In the scuffle, two other persons also received injuries.
After the murder of Tausif, a mob gathered and several shops were set on fire. Police vehicles were also targeted by miscreants.
“Now the situation is under control. We have booked three persons for murder,” a police official from Morbi said.
This is the second incident of violence when a person belonging to the minority community has been killed.
