MURKI/MUMBAI, India (Reuters) - In the tiny hamlet of Murki in the hinterlands of south India, Inspector V.B. Yadwad surveyed a pile of bricks and stones in a ditch where he and other police officers had been attacked earlier this month while trying to save a group of five men on a road trip from a violent mob.
"We tried hard to stop them," said Yadwad, pointing to injuries on his back. "They wouldn't listen to anyone."
