Mangaluru: Yet in another moral community issue, a 21-year-old Muslim man was allegedly beaten by 10 Bajrang Dal activists when he went out for shopping with his Hindu female friend in Costal Karnataka region.
The duo spent an hour in the mall and were shocked when they saw a gang of 10 waiting to confront them on their exit. After knowing the girl’s name, and then they bundled Arshad into a van, took him to the outskirts of the city where he was threatened and warned to stay away from Hindu girls.
Meanwhile, the young lady lodged a complaint with the police. On the basis of the descriptions provided by the girl and the victim, the police arrested 5 out of ten.
The other five accused, who learnt about the arrests, fled Mangaluru on Monday. Police suspect that they might be in hiding in Kerala, and a team is being sent there to search for them.
