Indians riot after statue desecration
Low-caste Indian groups protesting the desecration of their leader’s statue burned train cars, buses and clashed with police in western India today in violence that left at least two people dead and 40 injured, police said.
Authorities imposed curfews in three districts of western Maharashtra state today, police said, to control rampaging protesters who had forced shops and businesses to shut down across the state, including in parts of Mumbai, India’s financial and entertainment capital.
