Mumbai: At least two people were killed and 14 others were injured on Saturday as a protest at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan against the Assam riots and alleged attacks on Muslims in Myanmar turned violent.
Hundreds of protesters, sporting black badges, belonging to by several Muslim organisations were gathered at the Azad Maidan Ground in south Mumbai on a call given by a city-based outfit, Raza Academy, an organisation which claims to work for promoting Islamic culture.
The agitation was supported by other organisations like Sunni Jamaitul Ulma and Jamate Raza-e-Mustafa.
During the demonstrations, the protesters turned unruly, police said. They set on fire several vehicles, including an OB (Outside Broadcast) van of three private news channels, reports said.
Police had to resort to lathi-charge and opened fire in the air to disperse the violent crowd.
The situation is currently under control, said IG Law and Order, Mumbai.
Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil while talking to Zee News appealed people to maintain peace.
Several suburban train services were briefly disrupted and road traffic was also affected due to the unrest.
Azad Maidan Ground, a regular venue for protests, is located near Mumbai civic body headquarters and CST Mumbai railway station. The bustling area wore a deserted look as policemen cordoned off the locality and patrolled the streets.
Meanwhile, Raza Academy distanced itself from the violence.
"While we were protesting at the ground, some people got aggressive and started behaving violently," Mohammed Saeed, general secretary of Raza Academy said.
"We never encourage violence and strongly condemn such acts," he added.
