Over 250 people have been arrested so far in connection with the violence in Murshidabad which left three dead. Days after communal violence rocked several parts of West Bengal's Murshidabad district, the usually busy Dhuliyan market area bore a subdued look. On Tuesday, 14 April, the day of Nobo Borsho (Bengali New Year), only a few sweet shops opened their shutters in the morning.

He was going to a protest gathering in central London supporting the ‘Palestine Liberation movement’. Passengers threw at him a barrage of questions on a range of issues. An Arab woman shook hands with him for standing by Palestine.
