Assam riots protesters go on rampage, hold Mumbai hostage
Two persons died and 53 people,
45 of them policemen, were injured as south Mumbai witnessed unbridled mob vandalism
for about an hour after a section of participants in a rally by Muslim
organisations went berserk. The mob torched one police van and one television
channel's vehicle besides damaging six other police vehicles, 49 BEST buses, a
couple of other outdoor broadcasting vans and numerous privately owned
vehicles.
The police opened fire after all
other means to control the violence, including a lathi-charge and tear-gassing,
failed. One of the casualties had suffered bullet injuries, and the other was crushed
to death. Police commissioner Arup Patnaik said the cops had to fire five
rounds to rein in the mob.
