The victims were identified as Khamarunnisa (79) and Shamshad (70) of Balegadde.
The women have been selling non-vegetarian food in tents for the last 40 years and leading their lives. But on Thursday, around 8 Bajrang Dal workers are said to have attacked the women alleging that they had been preparing beef food. The saffron workers burnt their tents as well.
They also poured the hot sambar on the women and warned of burning them if they continue their business there.
Police hesitate to book case: Allegation
Though the women went to police station and complained against the Bajrang Dal workers, the police allegedly declined to take their complaints.
Khamarunnisa told Varthabharati that they have been doing their business in shandy markets and it was their profession. "How should we survive if we are attacked publicly? When we went to a police station with a hope that they would ensure justice, the police declined to take the complaint. The police warned us saying that they would book a case against us as they found beef on the spot. We have informed the local MLA MP Kumaraswamy about the incident and waiting for his response", they said.

ED searches: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah accuses Centre of targeting Cong leaders
Chamarajanagara (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday accused the central government and its agencies of consistently targeting Congress members by using searches on their properties, and questioned why similar action is not taken against BJP leaders.
He was reacting to searches conducted by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday on several individuals, among them the sons of Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris and the grandson of former Union Cabinet minister K Rahman Khan, in connection with a cryptocurrency-linked money laundering case.
"The central government always targets Congress leaders. Will they raid the houses of BJP leaders?" Siddaramaiah said in response to a question. More than a dozen premises in the city were searched as part of the operation carried out by the ED under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The premises searched comprised those of Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad, the sons of the MLA; Aqeeb Khan, the grandson of veteran Congress leader K Rahman Khan; and an alleged crypto hacker, Srikrishna Ramesh, alias Sriki, officials said.
The money laundering case stems from Karnataka Police FIRs and charge sheets filed in a 2017 case involving the hacking of national and international websites, theft of bitcoins, and the sale of these stolen virtual digital assets (VDAs) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.
Mohammed Haris Nalapad, Omar Farook Nalapad, and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this crypto-linked activity, officials added.
