Vadodara: A mob attacked a police station in Navapura and burnt a bakery in Khenderao Market here yesterday (May 3, 2006) night, prompting the police to lob tear gas shells and open fire to control the situation.

A mob attacked the Navapura Police Station late last night and policemen lobbed tear gas shells and fired three rounds to disperse the group, police said today (May 4, 2006).

"In Khenderao Market, a bakery was set on fire by a mob and incidents of stone-pelting were reported from certain areas, including Yakutpura, last night. An oil mill was also set on fire in Dahej Road last night," they said.

The Army last night conducted flag marches in all curfew-bound localities of the riot-hit town where violence has left six persons dead and over 60 injured after the demolition of a dargah by the civic authorities on Monday.
