Mangaluru :  An incident wherein Sangh Parivar activists assaulted a  young woman right in the presence of the police, has been reported from Pilikula Nisargadhama near Vamanjoor on the outskirts of the city on January 2, Tuesday.

The Sangh Parivar activists who had arrived at the spot on gathering information that students of a college  located on the outskirts of the city were making merry at the Pilikula Nisargadhama,  reportedly chased a young pair and took them to task.

By the time the  police rushed to the spot and took the young pair to custody, a Sangh Parivar activist reportedly assaulted the woman  in front of the cops themselves.. The  video clipping of the same has now gone viral on social networking sites.

There is widespread anguish against the assault on the young woman by the Parivar activists right in the presence of the police. There is also a grouse among members of the general public that the police have failed to launch a crack down on  the  vigilante forces in the Sangh Parivar outfits who have been unleashing fear through their immoral policing since the past few days.
