Mandya, Apr 17: Even though the Mandya district administration and police denied permission for bandh called by radical Hindutva groups in protest against an inter-religion wedding, anti-social elements made attempts to forcefully impose bandh and trigger violence in parts of the district on Saturday.

protestDistrict police have initiated a series of measures including arresting troublemakers ahead of the grand wedding ceremony of Shakeel Ahmed and Ashita alias Shaista Sultan on Sunday.

After BJP, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) launched protests against paediatrician H.V. Narendra Babu's daughter's marriage with businessman Mr. Shakeel, the Swabhimani Vokkaligara Sene (SVS) too opposed the marriage. SVS' view is that the alliance would be an insult to the Vokkaliga community, which the girl belongs to, as she was marrying a Muslim boy.

Despite the bandh and protests, Dr Babu, the bride's father, said they had made up their minds, and there was no turning back now. The two families have known each other for several years. Ashitha and Shakeel completed their masters in business administration in Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Mandya tahsildar Maruti Prasanna said he would issue a show-cause notice to those who staged protests against the marriage. The police have decided to continue armed security at the residence of Dr Babu.

Goondas should be treated in their own language. These trouble makers should be in jail for longer time. Police should treat goondagiri in harsh way and none shuld be allowed to disturb peace. BJP is trying to hard the situation for their political benefit. Shame on you karnataka people for supporting such goonda party.

A 32-year-old Dalit man was allegedly stripped and assaulted by a group of 13 youth in Karnataka's Vijayapura for reportedly touching a motorbike of an upper caste owner, police said on Monday.

"On a complaint by the Dalit victim (Kashinath Talwar), we have booked the 13 accused and investigating the incident, which occurred at Minajgi village near Talikoti on July 18," Vijayapura district Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal told reporters here.

"Though Talwar claimed that he touched the bike by mistake and pleaded for mercy, he said the accused severely thrashed him with sticks and footwear and took off his pants while he lay on the road haplessly," Agarwal said, citing from the victim's 2-page complaint in Kannada.

A video clip of the assault went viral on the social media and triggered outrage in the district against the upper caste accused, as the intervention by the victim's parents did not stop them from carrying the assault. Vijayapura is 524km northwest of Bengaluru.

Talwar's father Yankappa also alleged that he, his wife and their daughter were also attacked by the accused when they tried to rescue him from being brutally assaulted.

In a related development, two-three women in the village also filed a complaint with the police against Talwar for allegedly eve-teasing and 'flashing' before them.

"We have summoned Talwar to inquire about his conduct as the women alleged that he teased them, touched them inappropriately and exposed his private parts while they were washing clothes outside their houses," Agarwal said.
