Ahmedabad: Indefinite curfew was clamped in the sensitive Dariapur area of the walled city on Saturday after a mob resorted to heavy stone-throwing and arson, leading to serious injuries to a person.
The police fired 41 teargas shells to disperse the rioting mob, while in neighbouring Kalupar locality, a man was stabbed by some unidentified persons.
The victim, with serious injuries, had been admitted to a local municipal corporation hospital, the police said.
The curfew was imposed at 3.30 pm after the violence erupted in Dariapur. Sporadic incidents of violence were witnessed in the city on Friday, following a bandh call given by a local organisation over assault on hawkers belonging to the minority community in Maninagar area recently.
An FIR has been lodged in this connection but so far no arrests have been made, the police added.
The walled city areas like Mirzapur and Panchkuva, which witnessed violence on Friday, were peaceful on Saturday, the police said.
