The government yesterday suspended the police chief and the chief administrator of the northern town of Aligarh as the death toll from two days of Hindu-Muslim clashes rose to six. At least 19 people have been injured and hospitals said the condition of eight was critical. While four people were killed in clashes on Thursday, two bodies were recovered from the city yesterday morning, Aligarh's additional superintendent of police A.K. Saxena said. Curfew has been imposed on parts of the city and Saxena said the situation was tense but under control. Newspapers, however, reported sporadic violence in some neighborhoods. |
