Abdul Samad Attacked

Hours after a case was filed in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad against Twitter and eight others, including journalists and Congress leaders, over allegedly "provoking communal sentiments" and posts linked to an elderly man's assault, a new twist emerged.

A retired policeman was assaulted with sticks by three men on a street in Uttar Pradesh's Allahabad until he lay motionless, bleeding, one arm almost mutilated. For seemingly interminable moments, no one on the road stopped to help 70-year-old Abdul Samad Khan, who died in hospital.

Suspected terrorist Abdul Samad Bhatkal, believed to be one of the conspirators of the Mumbai terror attack, was arrested by the Mumbai Anti-Terror Squad at the Bajpe airport.
