AIMIM) party leader
Adilabad district of
Telangana on Friday evening. The condition of one of the injured is stated to be critical.
Police detained Farooq and registered a case of attempt to murder as well as under various sections of the Arms Act against him.
Old political rivalry is said to be the reason for the attack, and a clash among youths while playing cricket was the immediate provocation. All were associated with AIMIM for some time but some moved away from the party in 2018, the police said.
On an overcast afternoon in October, 22-year-old Surabhi Arandhara stood holding her two-year-old son, Arshik Jyoti, as he cried uncontrollably. Arshik was diagnosed with lymphoma in September. Arandhara, a soft-voiced widow clad in an orange saree, choked back tears while telling us her story. Living in a remote village in Assam s Jorhat district seven hours away, Arandhara and her in-laws barely have any money for the child s treatment. With the help of a woman she fondly refers to as bou (sister-in-law in Assamese), Arandhara was able to get in touch with a regional news channel in Guwahati. The news channel arranged for Arandhara and Arshik s 330-km journey by road from their village to Guwahati. Arshik is now undergoing treatment at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. The doctor has not assured anything yet whether he will recover or not, she said.
