The accused confronted him, made objectionable remarks, and insisted that he produce various identity documents.
When Ansari repeatedly asserted that he was an Indian citizen, the accused allegedly assaulted him using his own work implements, hitting him on the head. He sustained injuries and began bleeding profusely.
A local woman intervened and rescued him from the attackers. The migrant worker did not initially lodge a complaint due to fear and returned home after the incident. The matter later came to the notice of the police through local leaders, following which an investigation was initiated.
Police have verified that the victim is an Indian citizen who had come to Mangaluru for work.
Based on the findings, a case has been registered under attempt to murder. All four accused have been identified and will be arrested soon.
Further investigation is under way, police said.

Bose questioned the expenditure in the post X, “when Everyone knows RSS is Not Registered & Does not Pay any Tax is it justified to spend Tax Payers Money on such Private event??”
Reacting to the development, Karnataka’s IT-BT and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge also criticised the spending.
In a post on X, he asked why public money was being used for what he described as a “private ideological project.”
"Modi Sarkar spent Rs 76,13,129 of public money on newspaper advertisements to celebrate 100 years of the RSS. Why is Government spending taxpayers money on an unregistered, non-tax-paying organisation to celebrate their centenary?," he added.
Why is public money being used to serve a private ideological project?

According to reports, the RSS describes itself as a volunteer-based organisation and has stated that it functions as a body of individuals rather than a registered entity.
Founded by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in 1925, the organisation is marking its centenary year beginning from Vijaydashami in 2025, with the milestone observed on October 2.
