Police in eastern India fire on Hindu mob, 1 dead
BHUBNESHWAR, India (AP) - Police opened fire on a crowd of
1,000 angry Hindus attacking a police station in eastern India, killing
one person in a district wracked by a month of Hindu-Christian violence,
authorities said Wednesday.
The mob, most of them women, surrounded the police station
Tuesday in Raikia, a small town in Orissa state, demanding that police
release two locals arrested in connection with recent Hindu-Christian
clashes, said Kishore Pradhan, a local police officer.
