Two killed in Hindu-Muslim clashes in Indian town
Hindu-Muslim clashes over the slaughter of cows, which are revered by Hindus, have killed two people and wounded dozens in a southern Indian city, police said yesterday.
Riots erupted in the coastal city of Mangalore, about 320km west of the IT hub of Bangalore, on Wednesday after a group of right-wing Hindu activists intercepted a vehicle carrying cows and buffaloes to an abattoir, local media reported.
More than 60 people have since been wounded as mobs pelted stones at each other and burned shops.
