On September 28, 2002 Omaha World-Herald reported on "Farhan "Sid" Siddiqui, [who] sustained the injuries when he was attacked early Thursday in an incident that is being investigated as a possible hate crime. Siddiqui, co-owner of Indian Cafe and Groceries, 1320 S. 72nd St., said he stopped by the cafe sometime between midnight and 1 a.m. Thursday. He noticed two young men outside, kicking the cafe's door. When they wouldn't agree to quit kicking the door, he tried to call 911 on his cell phone, and they started hitting him, he said."
