Well done police. This trouble maker should be screwed up and police should obtain all the details about the organisation and financers behind him. He is definately a jobless guy and is hired by anti social sangh parivar. Police should do more investigation as he may be involved in many more issues like this and find out the real person who has hired him and made his brain wash in the name of religion.
Good action by the administration police must take strict action against such organization and with their members.At Karnataka specially in South Kanara dept must seize their funding. These are job less crooks plating with the power of money. They not bother about our society and Nation.
