Why such type goondagiri is taking place in karnatka. Why police are soft on the terror group who are behind such gundagiri. why are they not allowing people to live in peace. Police should trace the culprits from nearby cctv and arrest under goonda act. such miscreants need to be punished to teach lesson to their colleagues. In the meantime, why these youngersters are doing unneessary things and put themselves in truble. Talking to a girl from another community is a crime nowadays and sangh parivar members have the right to beat anyone talking to girl from different community. These miscreants have blessings from bjp. Situation may go out of contral in case Police do not contral these goondas from doing immoral policegiri.
