Bulandshahr (UP): Police have arrested a man, accused of attacking Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh with an axe during the December 3 violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district over alleged cow slaughter, officials said on Tuesday.
The arrest of Kalua from a bus stand on Monday night takes the total number of accused held in this case to 30, a police officer said.
