Lawyers Beat Journalist

Bangladesh's high court Tuesday ordered authorities to send an arrested award-winning photographer to hospital for treatment, a lawyer said, after the veteran journalist and rights activist accused police of beating him up in custody.

Though a police complaint has been filed against unknown persons for the assault on JNU teachers and journalists at a Delhi court yesterday, one of the main attackers is a face familiar in courts and has been photographed with many BJP leaders.
