In Pakistan, at least six people have been killed and 14 injured in clashes between two communities. The incident took place in Gojra village, which is about 160 km from Lahore.
The mob burnt about 40 houses and looted more than a 100. The clashes broke out over the alleged desecration of a religious book.
Witnesses said the persons were killed when police fired at the mob.
Witnesses also said at least five persons were injured in an exchange of fire between the two groups though there was no official word on casualties.
When the mob was stopped by a large contingent of police, it blocked the Gojra-Faislabad road and disrupted train services.
When they failed to disperse the protestors, police opened fire at the mob, witnesses said. Reports also said two senior police officers were injured in the clashes.
