AASU office attack accused arrested in Bengal village

IANS | Guwahati |

A man has been arrested in West Bengal for his alleged role in inciting a mob to attack and vandalise the All Assam Students Union's (AASU) office in Silapathar town of Assam.

Subodh Biswas was arrested by a joint team of the Assam Police and the CID around 4 am on Wednesday from a remote village close to Indo-Bangladesh border in North 24-Paraganas district of West Bengal.

He was hiding in the house of a retired teacher, the Assam Police said, adding that one of his accomplices has also been arrested.

The police said they will present him in a local court on Wednesday and then take him to Assam to stand trial.

On March 6, Subodh Biswas, who heads Nikhil Bharat Bengali Udbastu Samannay Samiti (NBBUSS), addressed a rally demanding citizenship to Hindu Bangladeshis at Silapathar in Assam's Dhemaji district.

The police said he then incited a mob to attack and vandalise the office of the All Assam Student's Union, which had been opposing the Centre's move to amend the Citizenship Act.

Protests were held in parts of the state since then, demanding immediate arrest and exemplary punishment to Biswas.

The Assam government ordered a probe into the AASU office attack and the state police set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look for Biswas, who went missing immediately after the incident.

Salman, Katrina ‘back together’

IANS |

Superstar Salman Khan is happy to be back together with actress Katrina Kaif to shoot a song for upcoming film Tiger Zinda Hai, a sequel to 2012 blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger.

The Sultan star took to Twitter to share a glimpse from the shoot. He posted an image with him in tuxedo and Katrina — with her locks falling over her shoulder — in a gown. 

Salman captioned the photograph with Katrina — his once rumoured ladylove: "Back together in Tiger Zinda Hai". 

Yash Raj Films' Tiger Zinda Hai has been shooting in scenic locales of Tyrol, Austria, currently. The film's unit has wrapped up shooting in a historic and quaint Golden Roof for a song with Salman and Katrina. 

The portion shot at Golden Roof with Salman and Katrina is expected to be a big visual attraction in the film, and the song shot matches up to the YRF reputation of unforgettable visual treats onscreen. The song is choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant, read a statement from the production banner. 

Salman and Katrina — who make headlines for their off-screen chemistry and rumoured on-and-off relationship — will again be seen together in the sequel of their 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger. They also got together for Yuvvraaj — which turned to be a dud at the box office. 

The two have featured together in films like Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya? and Partner.

Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar is directing the sequel. 

"Ek Tha Tiger" centered on the life of an agent of RAW (Salman), code-named Tiger, who falls in love with a Pakistani spy from ISI (Katrina) during an investigation and how Tiger's ideology and principles change over time.

Earlier, Salman and Zafar worked together in 2016 blockbuster Sultan. The makers of Tiger Zinda Hai have locked Christmas 2017 for the release of the film.
