A communal clash broke out in Dhaniyavi near Makarpura in Vadodara, injuring several persons on Monday afternoon.
Villagers say the clash began after two communities indulged in a spat late on Sunday night when a love affair between a girl and boy belonging to inter communities was discovered.
The clash took an ugly turn when members of two communities angered by the alleged inter-religious love affair began attacking one another.
The girl belongs to the Darbar caste while her lover is a Muslim. Villagers said the two were caught trying to elope.
