The riot was followed by a minor clash between Christians and Muslims in Udayandiram in North Arcot. There were fears of a riot in Madras city and security was tightened all over the Madras Presidency.<br /> <br /> In 1931, a second communal riot broke out in Vellore. This originated in a clash between a procession of members of the [[Indian National Congress]] and a Muslim procession in celebration of [[Milad-un-Nabi]]. The house of Muslim leader, Janab Abdul Jabbar, who is alleged to have instigated the rioters, was set on fire by a mob of over 200 Hindus but was, however, saved from destruction. A third riot broke out in August 1931 during a Hindu festival.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> * {{cite book |title=The Political Evolution of Muslims in Tamilnadu and Madras, 1930–1947 |author-last=More |author-first=J.
