A student at Sahyadri College in Mangaluru Abdul Shamir, son of Ibrahim, had invited his classmates to his house on the festival. Five girls and five boys arrived at Renja by bus and hired a rickshaw to reach Shamir’s home.
During the journey, when the rickshaw driver asked about their purpose of going, they said that they were going to Shamir’s home to have bakrid lunch. After learning this, the rickshaw driver, who not only refused to drop them at the address, also informed this to Sangh Parivar organisations allegedly. At the same time, Abdul Shamir, who was waiting to pick up his friends, had reportedly been abused and beaten up by a gang. The injured Shamir has been admitted to the Puttur Government Hospital.
A case was registered against residents Rukma, Satish Kurnappadi, Sheshappa Pittar, Rickshaw driver Ganesh, Kunhi, Duggappa, and Purushottama, who allegedly attacked and blocked the students, attempted to hurt communal sentiments and tried to spark communal violence.
