Saddam Qureshi, who was among three people allegedly assaulted by a mob in Chhattisgarh's Raipur while they were transporting cattle, died in hospital today (June 18) after battling for his life for 10 days. The two others with him died on June 7 - the day of the alleged attack.

According to doctors at Raipur's Shri Balaji Super Speciality Hospital, the 23-year-old had been in a coma until his death.

With his cousins, Guddu Khan (35) and Chand Miya Khan (23), having died in the incident, police had earlier said they were waiting for Qureshi's recovery to record his statement.

Chhattisgarh Police had registered a case of attempted murder and culpable homicide in the case after Qureshi's relative Shoaib said he had received a frantic call from him while the three were being assaulted.
