A 32-year-old man was burnt alive by a crowd of 1500 in Vadodara early on Wednesday morning.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim was chased by a crowd and burnt alive when he was passing through Ajwa Road's Mahavir hall crossing.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced 'dead on arrival'.
Sources report that crowds have been gathering across the city through the night. The fact that Vadodara is rife with rumours makes the work of the police very difficult in such tense times.
Vadodara is rife with rumours making the work of the police difficult. The city has been tense since the demolition of a dargah and the death of two person in consequent violence.
Sources report that crowds have been assembling across the city through Tuesday night.
Clashes also reportedly broke out between the two communities at Kotiadnagar, Bawamanpura, Sardar estate under the Panigate police station late Tuesday night.
Earlier in the day, curfew was relaxed for a couple of hours in the Panigate area from 12.30 to 2.30 pm and the authorities had decided to give 9-hour curfew relaxation in the area from 8 am to 5 pm tomorrow following improvement in the situation.
With the killing of one more person, the death toll in the last two days of continued violence and police firing had risen to six. About 20 victims of the riots were still admitted to the SSG hospital.

Funny how we don't hear of any riots between Hindus and Muslims in Pakistan even when legal Hindu temples are demolished but in the secular republic of India, even demolishing an illegal dargah can piss off the master race (aka Muslims).
