The 2006 Vadodara riots also known as the 2006 Dargah riots were religious riots that occurred on 1 May 2006 in the Vadodara district of Gujarat, India. The riots were started by Muslim mobs rampaging against the Municipal Council of India's decision to remove the dargah (shrine) of Syed Chishti Rashiduddin, a medieval Muslim Sufi saint. The riots resulted in eight Muslims being killed and forty-two injured, 16 of which were from police shooting.
