Indian Army troops were called in to patrol the cities of Surat, Rajkot and Mehsana in Gujarat state, western India, after two days of caste-related clashes have lead to the death of nine people, Thursday. The clashes began after members of the Patel community, who are demanding higher benefits in education and more jobs, clashed with the police following the arrest of the protesters' leader Hardik Patel in the city of Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Protesters burnt close to 100 vehicles and damaged properties worth millions at Prime Minister Narenda Modi's birthplace. According to the local authorities, the situation is under control after the army deployment.
