Police imposed a curfew and arrested 85 people when Hindus and Muslims clashed in a small town in India's western state of Gujarat after a Hindu procession in the nearby city of Ahmedabad.
Police said Hindus and Muslims pelted stones at each other after mobs torched two cigarette kiosks last night in Kheda, 35 km from Ahmedabad, which bore the brunt of India's worst religious violence in a decade last February and March.
The annual Ahmedabad procession, which wound its way through some Muslim-dominated areas of the city, passed off peacefully and the cause of the unrest in Kheda was not immediately clear.
