Sirajuddin (30), a resident of Faisalnagar, has been admitted to a private hospital after he was attacked with sword.

The incident took place Sunday night when Sirajuddin, who owns a vegetable shop in Mangaluru, was returning home on his two-wheeler after finishing his business.

When he reached near Padil-Bajal railway underpass, he noticed a group of miscreants misbehaving with a Muslim cleric and dragging him holding his shirt. The victim was the Usthad of a mosque in Vijayanagar near Padil.

Sirajuddin immediately stopped his motorbike and rushed towards the miscreants to ask why they were targeting the cleric. However, the miscreants started abusing and punching him.

Meanwhile, a white Scorpio reached the spot and four men emerged from it brandishing lethal weapons. One among them attacked Sirajuddin with a sword. Fayaz, another youth who witnessed attack on Sirajuddin, rushed to rescue him. But, he was also assaulted by the group.

The victims have identified the leader of group who assaulted them as Sagar from Veeranagar, Padil. Sathish, Ganesh, Jagga, Ashwin, Prajwal, Karthik are some of the other miscreants identified by Sirajuddin. He said that all of them are Bajrang Dal activists.

Meanwhile, unidentified miscreants pelted stones at houses and vehicles in Padil Bajal area, sources said.

Whatever these devils agent do .. They will never succeed.. The Zionist with the help of their masters doing hatred job since long time and they are not able to keep the muslims and Islam in the corner.. RSS & BD are jujubi who are following the zionist deceivers...
Muslims are not worried about this attacks. Fear yourself when Cheddis will kill you guys after all this just like Prashanth...
If U did not study ISLAM ... Dont take panga...its a Waste. and YOU are fools who bring their own destruction and becoming scape goat to the cheddi Gandhi killers...
BD members should help many Dalit research scholar instead of creating a menace in the society.

Is it not intolerance.
if not then what else is it.

Where is the media, which does not show it to whole India what has been happening, while blaming Aamir and Sharukh.

British rule was much better than the present name-sake independent India
