Lucknow: Sectarian
clashes erupted again in the old city areas Thursday during the
funeral procession of a youth killed in Wednesday's violence,
police said. A former BSP MP and others were booked for their role
in the violence.
Soon after the body of Shanu was brought out from the morgue and
handed over to his family, a mob took over the streets in the old
city and pelted stones.
Home-made bombs were thrown at some houses and several rounds of
firing reported from Satkhanda area Thakurganj, Hussainabad and in
front of the Unity college. Some shops were also vandalized in
Hussainabad.
As the funeral procession of the deceased youth wove its way
through Jama Masjid, Tehseenganj, Koneshwar crossing, angry crowds
raised slogans and indulged in stone-pelting.
Shanu's body was then put at the Medical College crossing for
several hours but the situation was defused when Shia cleric Kalbe
Jawwad reached the site and pacified the irate mob. The deceased
was later buried at Gufran Maab's Imambara.
Meanwhile police registered five criminal cases in the firing
incident Wednesday in which Shanu was killed and a dozen others
injured.
Police also booked a former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Dawood,
former corporator Nammu, his brother Kaleem, Sajid and others.
Heavy police force has been stationed in the violence-hit areas
and the situation continues to be tense.
Police apprehend more trouble Friday after congregational prayers.
