Hyderabad, Oct 12, 2008: Six members of a Muslim family including a two year old toddler were burnt alive by a rampaging Hindu mob in Adilabad district in Andhra Pradesh. The gruesome incident took place merely two days after a mob attacked Muslim neighborhoods in nearby Bhainsa town.
The violence seems to have spread to a large area in Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh.
The state seems to be the new target of the communal forces who have failed to make any inroads in the state for the last more than a decade. Despite all their efforts they have not been able to either increase their number in the Andhra Pradesh assembly or their representation in Parliament from the state.
Despite all their efforts they failed to either attract any major political faction in the state including Tilangana Rashtriya Samiti or the film star turned politician Chiranjivee.
This seems to have made them desperate.
Rioters who had earlier killed four people in nearby Bhainsa town Friday swooped down on the village and burnt several houses.
The six people of a single family were burnt alive by menacing Hindu mob that had attacked Muslim families in Vatoli village in Andhra Pradesh’s Adilabad district.
Despite the curfew in place since Friday how arsonists who roamed freely on roads across villages were able to torch the houses and set innocent people on fire is a mystery that police can answer better.
District Collector Ahmed Nadeem told a news agency about Friday violence that three of the dead couldn’t be recognised and all the bodies had been sent for autopsy.
