AHMEDABAD: Two groups clashed at Bilodara village near Nadiad in Kheda district on Sunday. Police officials said that death of a 55-year-old woman angered a mob already involved in violence. Police have mounted a vigil in the village.

"A woman, identified as Kesar Dabhi from the Thakor community, died in the stone-pelting after which clashes intensified," said a police official. "Police teams were sent to the spot to prevent any further casualties. Community elders were also involved in peacekeeping."
Maninder Singh Pawar, the Kheda SP, said that the situation was under control as on Sunday evening.
