The Hindu
He was allegedly targeted for speaking with three women
In yet another case of 'moral policing' in Dakshina Kannada, Mangaluru police arrested two youths for allegedly assaulting a man for speaking with three women.
The arrested persons are Jayaprakash and Pruthvi, who work as daily wage employees in the Dakshina Kannada Cooperative Milk Producers Union's plant in Kulashekara.
According to the complaint filed by Muhammed P.V., 23, a native of Kannur in Kerala, he was riding his motorcycle with his friend Pranav on October 6 heading towards their room in Lalbagh after having dinner in Kankanady. On the way, he spoke to his woman friend near a sweet stall. Then he stopped his two-wheeler near a motorcycle showroom in Kadri around 10 p.m. where he met two women, who were his classmates.

The Karnataka government on Friday handed over 10 cases related to two incidents that had turned into political flashpoints — the Hubballi woman “disrobing” case and the Ballari firing case in which a Congress worker was killed — to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), a well-placed police source told The Hindu.
