No end to violence, six more
killed in Ahmedabad

At least six persons were killed, one of them burnt alive, and 50 injured in fresh violence in Ahmedabad on Friday, even as the Gujarat government shunted out Commissioner P C Pande and appointed a Muslim police officer to assist K P S Gill, security advisor to Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Three people were killed and over a dozen injured when police opened fire and burst tear-gas shells to contain violence in Jamalpur and Raikhad.

A motor-cyclist was burnt alive by a mob in the Kalupur police station area.

A police constable was beaten up and his rifle snatched away in Raikhad.

Fresh violence prompted re-imposition of indefinite curfew in four police station areas of Kalupur, Haveli, Danilimda and Kagdapith.

Night curfew continued in eight other police station areas in the city and Sarkhej police station limits in Ahmedabad rural district.

Army and para-military forces have been deployed in some of the most sensitive areas of the walled city.
