Social media post sparks Gujarat Garba chaos

Trouble began after a provocative status update hurt religious sentiments and spread anger in the area.

As the Garba celebrations were underway, mobs stormed the venue, pelted stones, torched four shops, and vandalised vehicles, including those of the police and the fire brigade. Terrified residents fled. Rioters also attacked police teams, damaging two police vehicles and forcing officers to fire five tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
