"My Arm Was Broken, Cops Kept On Beating", Recounts UP Man Cleared Of Charges

Eight men assaulted in custody by the police in a viral video after protests in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur last month have been cleared of any charges. After the police said there is no evidence against them, and the local court discharged them, they walked out of jail yesterday. This means their names are no longer in the FIR initially filed against 85 people for a violent protest over now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma's remarks against Prophet Muhammad and Islam. Among the men now "honorably discharged" by court is Mohammed Ali, who had his arm fractured in the assault.
