As per a video recorded during midnight, police officials of Aurangabad, can be seen creating ruckus and letting goons torch vehicles by escorting them. It is shocking to see how the officials who are supposed to maintain peace are themselves creating violence.



The situation in the riot-hit city in the Marathwada region, about 350 km from Mumbai, has been brought under control, but certain restrictions remain in place, police officials said.



Internet services remained suspended and prohibitory orders clamped under the CrPC section 144, banning assembly of people, were in force in the city, where a large number of police personnel were deployed, a senior police official said.



"We have deployed adequate police force in the area to avoid any untoward situation. To curb rumour mongering through social media, we have suspended Internet services," he said.







"We have appealed to people not to believe in rumours and help the police in maintaining law and order," Bharambe added.



The clashes between groups of two communities started in Moti Karanja area around 10 on Friday night and spread to Gandhi Nagar, Raja Bazaar, Shah Ganj and Sarafa localities, another police official said.



The police fired in the air and lobbed teargas shells to control the situation, he said.



Two persons were killed in the violence, which also left more than 60 people, including police personnel, injured, he said.
