Mangaluru: The police have detained eight people in connection with the assault on a 24-year-old man after pulling him out of a Bengaluru-bound bus Thursday night for travelling with a girl who allegedly belonged to a different community.
Addressing reporters here, city police commissioner N Shashi Kumar said a group of people stopped a private bus at Kankanady and stabbed the man with a sharp weapon. The man was admitted to a private hospital after the incident took place.
The commissioner said an inquiry is in progress into the incident and the police have detained eight people. A case has also been registered against the accused.
Three to four such moral policing incidents have been reported in the last two months, the commissioner added.
The man and the woman were known to each other and the latter was on her way to Bengaluru looking for a job in digital marketing, he said.
The commissioner said tight security will be arranged in public places like bus stands, beaches and parks in evenings and nights to keep check of such incidents.
Looking for a job in digital marketing?
Lets not fool ourselves. Its easy to understand why they were going to Bangalore.
However, whether its a case of Love Jihad will have to be ascertained by the police. Hope they investigate thoroughly.
Why will you report differently based on the religion, Be bold, be secualr and provide religion and stay true to your principle.
Since there is no hestiancy to rail against BJP, I have to assume the man is hindu and girl is muslim, Don’t be an hyprocrite like rest of the media in India.
