(BBC) The recent disorder in Leicester did not only involve Hindus and Muslims, the city’s head of police has said.
Temporary Chief Constable Rob Nixon warned against “broad, sweeping comments” about the unrest.
Tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities culminated in large-scale disorder on 17 September.
This has led to nearly 50 arrests, 158 crimes being recorded and nine people being charged.
“Everybody likes to simplify the message, and make broad, sweeping comments that ‘this is the Hindus versus the Muslims, and the Muslims against the Hindus,'” Mr Nixon told the BBC.
