However, there was one more rioting, equally big, that took place around the same time in Hyderabad and went unnoticed. It took lives of over 300 innocent Hindus in December, 1990. Riots broke out after a notorious gangster Mohammed Sardar was killed in an encounter with the police. Supporters of the gangster along with some local political groups, indulged in a mayhem that killed hundreds of people including many children and old people.  Hindus from old city left their homes in thousands for safety. Successive governments were not keen to prosecute the murderers fearing for their vote bank. Strangely, the media and other human rights groups, who are chasing the Mumbai rioters, do not shed a single tear for these victims…
