Violence in Baroda; indefinite curfew in six areas

At least two persons were stabbed to death and another injured in Dantiwad and Lal Akhara localities of Baroda, prompting authorities to re-impose indefinite curfew in six police station areas of the city on Friday.

One person was stabbed to death and one injured in Dantiwad Bazar area, while another was killed in Lal Akhara area by some unidentified persons, the police said.

Indefinite curfew was re-imposed in six police station areas of Baroda -- city police station, Wadi, Panigate, Raopura, Karelibaug and Navagam -- from 1.30 pm.
