BC Road: Sangh Parivar members assault police officer assuming him to be Muslim, arrested
Bantwal: In a disturbing incident of immoral policing, two individuals associated with the Sangh Parivar were arrested in Thumbe for their involvement in assaulting a police officer and his family, assuming that the officer was a Muslim and was accompanying a Hindu girl.
The arrested individuals were identified as Manish Poojari and Manjunath Acharya, both residents of Tumbe.
The incident occurred on the night of July 27 when Kumar Hanumantappa, a police officer posted at the Bantwal DYSP office, was returning home after having dinner at a hotel on BC Road with his wife and sister-in-law. As they were heading back, the accused, who were standing in front of a bar, began following them.
The accused, who were on a bike, stopped Kumar and he identified himself as a police officer. However, they refused to listen and made derogatory remarks, claiming he was not a policeman but a member of the Beary community. Ignoring Kumar's explanations, they continued to behave aggressively and issued threats, as stated in Kumar's complaint.
Additionally, a complaint was filed against the accused for filming a video of Kumar's wife and attempting to molest her.
The Bantwal city police station has registered a case against the accused for obstructing the duty of a policeman, and for molesting and assaulting Kumar and his family. Following initial investigations the police team have arrested both the accused and are further investigating the matter.

Bengaluru woman groped, beaten, dragged on road after rejecting man’s advances
Bengaluru: A 21-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted in broad daylight in Bengaluru after she rejected repeated relationship advances from a man she had met through social media. The incident, which was captured on CCTV, took place on December 22 around 3.20 pm, NDTV reported.
According to police, the accused, identified as Naveen Kumar, had been in contact with the woman after connecting with her on Instagram earlier this year. While they initially remained in touch through calls and messages, the man reportedly began pressuring her to enter into a relationship, which she refused.
On the day of the incident, the footage shows the woman standing beside a scooty, believed to be an online ride, when the accused arrives at the spot in a car. He is seen taking her purse and checking it before moving towards her and groping her.
The man then repeatedly hits the woman on her head and back and drags her along the road. Despite the presence of two to three bystanders at the scene, no one intervened to help the victim.
The victim later approached the police and filed a complaint. Based on her statement, an FIR was registered, and Naveen Kumar was taken into custody. Police said further investigation is underway.
