Mysore, Jul 3: In a fresh bout of violence, two more persons received serious stab wounds as the communal tension which gripped parts of the city showed no
signs of let up for the second consecutive day on Friday.

The two were chatting in front of their house when they were attacked, police said, adding the accused were yet to be identified. Javed, brother of Wajid, immediately rushed both to a hospital.
With this, five persons have been stabbed since last night and three others killed in violence, which erupted over the alleged desecration of a Madrasa here yesterday.
Though the police rushed reinforcements to the area to prevent violence from spreading, three men received stab injuries last night and are being treated in a hospital.
Two batallions of RAF deployed in the troubled areas staged a flag march today to instill confidence among fear-stricken residents.
The fresh attack on Giridhar and Wajid has baffled the police over the motive of the attackers.
