A Muslim student travelling with his Christian friend became victims of moral policing as they were allegedly assaulted and abused by a group of men in Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district on Monday night. Six men have been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police said that the incident happened when the student, who is enrolled in a BSc course at Suratkal in Mangaluru, was travelling with his classmate on his two-wheeler. The group of men allegedly accosted them and asked the girl to get down from the two-wheeler.
