“During my wedding ceremony, my friends did it for fun. It was not intended to hurt the Koraga community or any other caste. I have faith and respect towards all castes. I apologise if it hurt anyone,” Bashith said in a 33-second video.

Meanwhile, another video of him extending apologies has also gone viral on social media platforms.

Bashith had arrived at the house of his bride, dressed up as Koragajja, while his friends danced beside him in Salethoor at Kolnad village in Bantwal on Thursday. The video of the incident went viral the next day. Based on a complaint, Vittal police registered a case under sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) and 295 of the IPC (injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class).
