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.

Motihari (PTI): The toll in the hooch tragedy in Bihar's East Champaran district rose to nine on Sunday after three more people who had consumed spurious liquor died, officials said.
The first death was reported on Thursday, they said.
A total of 15 people have been arrested in connection with the deaths in the Turkauliya and Raghunathpur areas of Motihari, District Magistrate Saurabh Jorwal said.
A case of murder has already been registered on the basis of complaints filed by the family members of the deceased, police said.
Jorwal said one person is still in the hospital and his condition is reported to be critical.
"Seven persons have already been discharged after treatment," he told PTI.
"The bodies of the deceased have been sent for post-mortem examination. The exact cause of the deaths can only be known after the reports arrive," he said.
The SHO of Turkauliya police station has already been suspended on charge of dereliction of duty, and a special investigation team has been constituted to probe the incident, officials said.
The deaths have led to a political slugfest in the state, where the sale and consumption of alcohol has been banned since 2016.
