BBC man quits after claims he helped to topple president in Kyrgyzstan revolt

Arslan Koichiev, 45, who presented and produced a daily show for the country’s six million people, allegedly acted as mentor for a rebel leader. The BBC World Service presenter was even pursued by secret police who tried to kill him with acid, according to the new children’s minister of Kyrgyzstan, Aliasbek Alymkulov.
