-The Hindu

The Ahmedabad police on Saturday arrested seven persons in connection with the November 5 murder of Congress worker and RTI activist Nadeem Sayed, a key witness in the Naroda-Patiya massacre case during the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Among them was Kalu Gardan, who, it was claimed, knifed Nadeem when he came out of his Juhapura residence. While the motive was still not known, the police earlier detained a builder, Mehboob senior, after it emerged that he had been issuing threats to Nadeem, warning him not to appear as a witness in the case.
