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.

Kenya cancels airport and energy deals with Adani group after US indicts the tycoon
Nairobi, Nov 21: Kenya's president said Thursday he has cancelled multimillion-dollar airport expansion and energy deals with Indian tycoon Gautam Adani after US bribery and fraud indictments against one of Asia's richest men.
President William Ruto in a state of the nation address said the decision was made “based on new information provided by our investigative agencies and partner nations.” He didn't specify the United States.
The Adani group had been in the process of signing an agreement that would modernize Kenya's main airport in the capital, Nairobi, with an additional runway and terminal constructed, in exchange for the group running the airport for 30 years.
The widely criticised deal had sparked anti-Adani protests in Kenya and a strike by airport workers, who said it would lead to degraded working conditions and job losses in some cases.
The Adani group had also been awarded a deal to construct power transmission lines in Kenya, East Africa's business hub.
Also Thursday, Energy Minister Opiyo Wandayi told a parliamentary committee there had been no bribery or corruption involved on Kenya's part in signing that deal.
US prosecutors indicted Adani this week on charges he duped investors in a massive solar energy project in India by concealing that it was facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. He was charged with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud.
