Vadodara: Even as the whole country celebrated the holy festival of Diwali, Vadodara in Gujarat was rocked by violence. There was a fierce fight between two groups at the communally sensitive Panigate area here and stone pelting also took place. A police party, that had reached the spot upon receiving information about the incident was also attacked with petrol bombs. The police later took 19 people into custody. According to reports, there was an argument between two groups regarding bursting of firecrackers and the matter escalated when both sides started pelting stones and petrol bombs at each other. The rioters also set fire to some vehicles parked on the road. Meanwhile, a group switched off the street lights so that they could not be identified in the CCTV cameras.
