Excerpt:
One of the people legally challenging Lutfur Rahman's election as Tower Hamlets Mayor has had their van and business vandalised.
White paint was poured over Azmal Hussain's vehicle and a window at his restaurant smashed just hours after he emerged as a signatory of the legal bid.
Mr Hussain is one of four people who submitted the petition to the High Court accusing Mr Rahman of being connected to alleged electoral fraud.
