Mangaluru, Sept 26: The police have stepped up security measures at shopping malls across the city a day after an ugly communal brawl which led to the arrest of three persons including a minor boy.
Yesterday, a handful of people had assaulted a man in a mall for saying 'India is a Hindu Nation and Muslims should not come here.' The incident of the video has gone viral on social media.
The one who provoked the group through communal dialogue has been identified as Santosh, a resident of Bantwal taluk.
The police have arrested three persons for assaulting him. Two among them are Moideen Safwan and Abdul Rahim Saad. The third one is a juvenile.
The police have registered a case against the people who thrashed Santosh and the investigation into the matter is underway.
"We will investigate. Police has good leads," said Mangaluru Police Commissioner while speaking to media on Thursday.
The top cop also urged the people not to sensationalize the matter as it is an isolated incident.
In the wake of incident, saffron groups had informally urged their activists to gather in malls in large numbers today. Hence, the police have taken necessary measures to prevent untoward incidents.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
