Mangalore: Curfew was relaxed for two hours on Sunday morning in Mangalore, Ullal, Konaje and Mangalore rural limits which were hit by communal violence leaving two persons dead in the last three days.

On Saturday night, an ambulance carrying seven people was attacked by a mob about 20 kilometre from the city centre.

A group stopped the ambulance and stabbed the occupants.

One of them died on the way to the hospital and the other is seriously injured.

No other incident had been reported, district Superintendent of Police B Dayanand said. "The situation is under control now," he added.

The curfew was relaxed between 0900-1100 hours IST. Violence had erupted on Wednesday after Bajrang Dal activists stopped a vehicle carrying cattle to a slaughter house.
