Hearing Ordered On Irfan Hussein Case

image

The father of the late Indian cartoonist Irfan Hussein has won the right to a hearing on his petition that the facts of his son's death nine years ago be investigated. If I understand the article correctly, the petition asserts that the young men gathered and then later absolved in the carjacking and murder of the political cartoonist were stand-ins obscuring the real events of the murder, which the petition further asserts was based on politically motivated youth seeking to punish Hussein for some of his work on the subject of Bal Thackeray (maybe or maybe not including the above).

Hussein died in 1999.
