We're cross now

A restaurant called Hitler's Cross Cafe that en-raged India's Jewish community has been renamed the Cross Cafe.

Owner Puneet Sablok said swastikas used on its menus and advertising signs will also be removed.

Sablok, who used the name for his new business along with a picture of Adolf Hitler in an attempt to attract attention, agreed to the changes after meeting Jewish leaders in Mumbai.

He said: "They told me how the name hurt them so I'm changing it. I never wanted to hurt anyone."
