A dead pig tossed near a mosque site sparked rioting between Muslims and Hindus in southern India, leaving three dead and more than a dozen people injured.
Clashes between the warring groups broke out in the souther state of Mysore on Thursday after the pig-tossing incident, city police commissioner Sunil Agarwal told CNN.
"Some miscreants threw the carcass of a pig in the mosque. People gathered in large numbers and protested," a police official told the BBC.
A curfew has been ordered in the area, which has a large Muslim minority and a history of religious strife.
Mysore is a city in Karnataka, which is governed Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.

Whoever tossed the pig should be shot dead and fed to the pigs.

Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.
