STORYLINE: Police fired bullets to disperse Hindu and Muslim mobs who threw stones at each other while burning shops and homes in Ahmadabad, in the western state of Gujarat, India. 863 people in Gujarat have been killed in two months of religious rioting. 19 people were arrested in the Jamalpur area of Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Gujarat over the rioting. The army was called in to help police as rioting broke out. One person was stabbed and a buildings were set on fire by a mob in the district of Jamalpur. An armed response vehicle was also called in and police and army used tear gas and live ammunition to disperse the crowd. Accurate casualty figures are not currently available, although 4 policemen were hurt. Fire officers also attended to tackle a number of blazes started by rioters. Local police report the situation now under control with a curfew being imposed and adhered to, although they have described the situation as "ongoing". The incidents came a day after police detained 25 people and imposed a curfew in the city of Bhavnagar, 175 kilometers (110 miles) south of Ahmadabad. Hindus stoned a mosque after Muslims attacked a 15-year-old Hindu student with a sword, sending him to the hospital. Sectarian fighting began in Gujarat on February 27, when Muslims set fire to a train carrying Hindu activists returning from a pilgrimage aimed at building a Hindu temple on the site of a mosque destroyed by a Hindu mob in 1992. Most of the dead since then have been Muslims, many burned alive and their businesses and homes destroyed by Hindu mobs.
