Hindu mob burns Muslim shops in central India over cow slaughter report
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI, India
Hindu mobs burned nearly 30 shops belonging to Muslims in a small town in central India on Tuesday after reports that the Muslims had slaughtered cows, which are sacred to Hindus, Press Trust of India news agency reported.
No injuries or deaths were reported.
Armed police arrived and ended the violence by imposing a ban on the assembly of more than five persons in the town of Ganj Basoda, 80 kilometers east of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh state, PTI said.
Madhya Pradesh is one of a few of India's 29 states that have banned cow slaughter, prompting traders to carry cattle across state lines to slaughter houses.
India's Hindu majority reveres cows, but beef is served in some restaurants and hotels in big cities.
