The Congress threatened on Wednesday that it will sit on dharna in front of the Surathkal police station from Thursday if the police did not arrest all those involved in Sunday’s ‘moral policing’ incident which took place at Surathkal toll plaza and invoke stringent provisions against the accused.

Addressing presspersons, MLC and Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee president K. Harish Kumar said that a city police officer, who was in civilian dress, was a witness to the assault on medical students by Bajarang Dal activists.

The police should have booked the accused under harsher sections for which bail is not easily available as the accused had assaulted and abused the students.
