Miscreants burn mosque's gate, tension in Rajasthan village

A wooden gate of a mosque was on Monday burnt by miscreants setting off communal tension in a village in Rajasthan's Sikar district, the state's top police official said.

Some unidentified persons threw a burning sack at the gate of the mosque damaging it, Director General of Rajasthan Police Shantanu Kumar said in Jaipur.

Additional police personnel were deployed in the village where the situation was tense but under control.

A case had been registered in Ranoli police station in connection with the incident, he said.

Police suspect the incident might be in retaliation to the desecration of some idols at Fatehgarh in Sikar district on new year's eve, the DGP said.
