Bhopal tense over communal clashes:

[India News]: Bhopal, Oct. 27 : Bhopal remained tense today as dozens of slogan-shouting protestors turned up for the funeral procession of a 17-year-old boy killed in police firing as clashes broke out between Hindus and Muslims.
Trouble began on Tuesday afternoon, when a minor argument between teenagers from both communities snowballed into violence and scores of Hindus and Muslims came out on streets in the city’s orthodox Shajahanabad area pelting stones and setting afire vehicles.
Police said they were forced to open fire as the mob refusing to be bogged down by baton-charge and tear gas went on a rampage.

Activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad have raised a storm over the issue demanding immediate enquiry against the culprits.
“There was no police. They kept firing indiscriminately,” said Rajni Gaud, a protestor.

“We want blood in return of blood. Small kids were playing when all this happened and its happened due to their revenge. There was no police there,” added Vimla Pathak, another protestor.
Curfew has been clamped all through the walled city and anti-riot vehicles manned the streets.

“Till the time we feel that there is tension between the two communities, we will continue the curfew,” said S. Srivastava, city’s superintendent of police.(ANI)
