The injured Abdul has been hospitalised in Vittal.  It is said the group assaulted  Abdul after there arose an altercation between him and a bus driver over the issue of taking a reverse when Abdul was at the bus stand in his bike.

However, Thursday night’s incident is said to be a continued part of  a dispute between two groups  over the issue of cattle trafficking earlier in the day. Sources said the  efforts made by the local circle inspector to settle the issue had been in vain.

Meanwhile, people belonging to  rival groups  assembled in front of the police station  forcing the cops to resort to a mild lathi charge to quell the mob.

Circle Inspector Belliappa has informed that the situation in the town was under control at present.
