At least four people have died in violence in a northern Indian state after authorities demolished a mosque, alleging it was constructed illegally.
Violence broke out in Uttarakhand's Haldwani town during what police say was an "anti-encroachment drive".
Authorities said the drive was launched to clear illegal constructions, including the mosque and an adjoining madrassa (religious school).
