The Kankanady Town police booked six Bajrang Dal activists on charges of vandalising the venue of an entertainment programme at Maroli in Mangaluru on March 26.
The city police booked six Bajrang Dal activists on charges of vandalising the venue of an entertainment programme at Maroli in Mangaluru on Sunday.
Police said the six accused were opposed to the holding of “Rang Barse” programme at Maroli.
The programme was scheduled between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and it began around noon. Around 2 p.m., the men came to the venue. They had a heated exchange with the organisers and said they would not allow such a programme to go on.
In a video of the altercation that has gone viral, a Bajrang Dal member is heard saying, “We have told you to stop the programme in nice words. But you are not listening. Do not bring names of Member of Parliament and MLAs here. We will take action to stop the programme.” The activists then damaged posters and flexes of the event displayed outside the venue and also brought down some publicity materials.
The local Kankanady Town police rushed to the venue and took the men to their custody. On a complaint by the organiser, the police also registered a case against the six activists. They have been taken into police custody.
Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar R Jain said the city police had given permission to the organiser to hold the event by imposing several conditions. “If anybody is opposed to the event, a complaint should have been filed with the police. Instead, the group took law into their hands,” Mr. Jain said.
