In Abadih a certain Ustad Ali- Akbar was, at the instigation of a local Siyyid, apprehended and so ruthlessly thrashed that he was covered from head to foot with his own blood. In the village of Takur, at the bidding of the Shah, the property of the inhabitants was pillaged, Haji Mirza Rida- Quli, a half- brother of Baha'u'llah, was arrested, conducted to the capital and thrown into the Siyah- Chal, where he remained for a month, whilst the brother- in- law of Mirza Hasan, another half- brother of Baha'u'llah, was seized and branded with red- hot irons, after which the neighboring village of Dar- Kala was delivered to the flames.
