Black Friday in Hyderabad

May 18, 2007
Confusion and anger overcame the crowd, which soon turned violent. A large posse of police personnel had a tough time handling the crowd, which pelted stones at them and shops in the vicinity. Police had to resort to lathicharge and tear-gas to control the crowd.

According to an eyewitness, there used to be strict police bandobust around the Mosque. But in the absence of any untoward incident since the Danish cartoon controversy, it had been significantly reduced.
