Bhatkal: Two Sangh Parivar members were arrested by the police here recently, for assault and for making false claims that could cause communal clashes.
Naveen, son of Somayya Naik, and his friend, also named Naveen, son of Venkatesh Naik, were arrested by the police, said sources.
Naveen, son of Somayya Naik, had complained to the police that, on October 8, when he was walking from Mavinakatta to his house in Kumbarakeri of Murdeshwar, three men on bikes stopped him near Chittihakkalu Cross and attacked him. He also told the police that the attackers were of a different religion.
The police, who investigated the matter, have arrested Naveen, son of Venkatesh Naik, and produced him before the court, the sources added.
Following a fight between the duo over a personal matter, Naveen, son of Venkatesh Naik, had attacked his friend. Naveen, son of Somayya Naik, has even sustained injuries due to the assault.
Naveen, son of Somayya Naik, however, had not revealed to the police that the injuries were caused by his friend and that the fight was for a personal reason. Instead, he had complained that he was attacked by people of another religion.
Police sources have said that an investigation brought to light the fact that the latter claim was false. The investigating team also found it to be an attempt to give rise to communal clash, and the police have arrested both the friends.

13 lakh litres of 'Rail Neer' supplied to train passengers daily: Government
New Delhi (PTI): Approximately 13 lakh litres of packaged drinking water -- 'Rail Neer' -- are being supplied to train passengers across the railway network daily, the government informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Wednesday.
Apprising the Lower House about the Indian Railways' endeavour to provide safe and potable drinking water facilities at all stations, the government also provided zone-wise details of the water vending machines (WVMs) installed there.
"To ensure the quality of drinking water being made available at the railway stations, instructions exist for periodical checking and required corrective action to be taken.
"Regular inspection and maintenance of drinking water facilities is carried out and complaints are attended to promptly," Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while responding to a question raised by BJP MP Anup Sanjay Dhotre seeking to know the supply of drinking water at railway stations across the country
"Complaints regarding deficiency in services, including water supply, are received through various channels such as public complaints, web portals, social media, etc. These complaints are received at various levels, including the Railway Board, zonal railways, division office, etc.," Vaishnaw said.
"The complaints so received are forwarded to the concerned wings of Railways and necessary action is taken to check and address them. As receipt of such complaints and action taken thereon is a continuous and dynamic process, a centralised compendium of these is not maintained," he added.
Providing zone-wise details of water vending machines, the minister said 954 such machines have been installed across railway stations.
"The Indian Railways also provides safe and affordable packaged drinking water bottles -- Rail Neer -- approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in trains and at stations," Vaishnaw said.
"Approximately, 13 lakh litres of Rail Neer are being supplied per day to the travelling passengers in trains and at stations across the Indian Railways network," he added.
