Conspiracy To
Murder National Leaders
New Delhi, Feb. 1.-Nearly 20 people suspected of being in a plot aimed not only at killing Mahatma Gandhi but possibly also other national leaders, have been arrested in Bombay, it was learned today.
The police have spread a wide net which they' think may unearth a countrywide conspiracy with ramifications in Delhi, West Bengal and East Punjab. Senior officials have flown to various parts of the Dominion to keep inquiries moving at maxim- um speed in case the nucleus of the plot is still in being.
Rioting today spread to many parts of India directed against the Hindu Mahasaba and other extreme Hindu organisations. Four people were killed yesterday and today in Bombay and tonight the police opened fire to disperse a crowd who attacked tenements in Central Bombay.
