§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. C. Roberts)A deputy-superintendent of police was fired at, a man named Ram Das shot dead, and a police-constable injured, by a person who, after firing eight or ten shots, escaped, the bystanders making no attempt to stop him. At the time of the outrage the officers were searching for suspects in a recent murder case.
§ Sir J. D. REESDoes this case belong to the class of crime described as political?
§ Mr. ROBERTSI should imagine so.
