2017 Patan riots
The 2017 Patan riots were a series of communal disturbances that occurred in Patan, Gujarat, India, in September 2017. The riots erupted following a dispute over the installation of a statue, which escalated into violent clashes between different religious communities. The unrest resulted in significant property damage, injuries to several individuals, and the deployment of law enforcement to restore order. The Gujarat government imposed curfews and internet restrictions in affected areas to prevent further escalation. Following the riots, community leaders called for peace and dialogue to address underlying tensions. The incident highlighted ongoing social issues in Gujarat, including communal relations and governance challenges.
