Vadodara- Police detained around 50 people in Vadodara city of Gujarat on Saturday following late-night rioting over a social media post in Junigadhi area, officials said.

A few people including police personnel were injured in stone-pelting but the situation was swiftly brought under control, they said.

Members of the Muslim community gathered outside the city police station on Friday night claiming that a social media post hurt their religious sentiments, and demanded action against the person who uploaded it, said an official.

Another group of around 500 to 600 members of the minority community started stone-pelting and vandalized vehicles in Junigadhi area of Old City, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (zone IV) Andrew Macwan.

A few people including police personnel were injured, he said.
