Police in northern India say they have found nearly 100 human skulls and other skeletal remains in a dried-up pond.

Clashes between Hindus and Muslims in a northern Indian town left one person dead and dozens injured, officials said today, hours after imposing a curfew to quell the violence.

Muslims in India’s western state of Gujarat were today still too frightened to leave their homes or return to those they fled, fearing more attacks from Hindus after five days of mob violence.
