Mangalore, Feb 24, 2014: Activists of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike picketed the Suratkal police station on February 23, Sunday opposing the action of the Suratkal cops who allegedly barged into houses and took Hindu youth to custody in connection with the case of assault on a Muslim youth at the Suratkal’s Mallamar beach recently.
It may be recalled here that Nisar was brutally thrashed at the beach allegedly by Hindu activists for the reason that he was speaking to a girl of another community.
The protestors alleged that it was wrong on the part of the police to barge into houses at midnight and arrest innocents.
Ramesh S, Mangalore North unit BJP President said the police were unnecessarily hurling accusations against Hindu activists.
Corporator Gunashekhar Shetty, Hindu Jagarana Vedike activists Vasanth Hosabettu, Varun Chowta and others took part in the protest.
