Mangaluru, Feb 22: A week after a diploma student in the city was stripped, beaten and robbed by a group of four miscreants, the police have managed to arrest two of the accused.
The arrested have been identified as Joel and Vikky Bappal. The police are on the look-out for the two others involved in the case.
According to a complaint the 19-year-old student from Neerumarga was kidnapped by his four friends in an auto-rickshaw and taken to Sultan Battery on February 14, the Valentine's Day.
The boy was forced to remove his clothes off and stand in his undergarments. One among the accused then hit him with a cane. The accused, who are four in number, left the place after robbing the student of his cash.
These four miscreants also made a video of the student in his undergarments and threatened him that they would release the video on the social media if he approached the police.
The very next day, the boy and his parents approached the Urwa police and lodged a complaint as the accused released the video on the social media. The complaint was referred to the Mangaluru Rural Police who have now arrested two.
Addressing Kannadiga delegates from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries through a video conference, Dr Narayan also assured that necessary steps will be taken by the Karnataka government to provide free quarantine facility for those who cannot afford private quarantine in hotels or guest houses. The video conference was organised by coastaldigest.com.
