A policeman in Kufri, near Shimla, faces disciplinary action after allegedly manhandling a journalist covering a news event. The incident sparked outrage and led to intervention from the Chief Minister.
The three assailants who killed gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf posed as journalists, carrying video cameras, mics and media identity cards, the Uttar Pradesh Police said on Sunday.
The names of at least two of them already figure in the records of police stations in the state.
So concluded a day in court that saw a woman accused of murder don a fresh role of heroine of the moment. Even Bollywood couldn't have come up with such a curious twist.
