"In July this year, just a few days before the recent Mumbai blasts, a Muslim photo-journalist with the Mid-day group, Sayed Sameer Abedi, was detained for taking innocuous photographs of a traffic junction and an airplane. He was threatened, roughed up and called a terrorist because of his Muslim name. Sub-inspector Ashok Parthi, the investigating officer in his case said: “Don’t talk too much. Just shut up and listen to what we are saying. Your name is Sayed, you could be a terrorist and a Pakistani.”
