Mangaluru: A shocking video of a daughter brutally assaulting her mother at the Moodushedde Gram Panchayat premises on the outskirts of the city has gone viral, triggering widespread outrage on social media.
The mother and daughter reside in Shivanagara, Moodushedde, and were reportedly involved in frequent quarrels. The mother had filed complaints earlier at Kavoor police station, following which the police had counselled both and sent them back home, sources said.
Recently, the mother approached the Moodushedde Gram Panchayat to lodge a complaint against her daughter. According to reports, while she was submitting the complaint three days ago, the daughter pushed her. Although the mother retaliated, the daughter became enraged and assaulted her mother in an inhumane manner using a slipper. The incident was recorded on a mobile phone by individuals present in the Gram Panchayat office and the video has since spread widely across social media platforms, drawing anger from the public.
Several elected representatives and staff members of the Gram Panchayat are seen in the video. Social media users have criticized them for merely filming the incident instead of intervening to stop the assault or reporting the matter to the police. Critics say that the police should have called both parties for inquiry and taken suo motu action for the public assault.
As of now, no case has been registered regarding the altercation between the mother and daughter. The Mangaluru City Police Commissioner has stated that strict legal action will be taken if anyone files a complaint against the person who recorded and circulated the video with the intention of making it viral for higher views.

Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
