Mangaluru: A 23-year-old Muslim man from Karnataka’s Mangaluru is currently critical after a mob of right-wing activists stabbed him, because he was accompanying a Hindu woman on a bus.
The incident took place in coastal Dakshina Kannada district, in a bus en route Bengaluru from Mangaluru on Thursday night. It was not ascertained how the group of attackers came to know of the victim, his identity and his travel details.
The man, identified as Anwar Mohammad, was accompanying his friend from school to Bengaluru who had a job offer in the city. At around 9:30 pm at night, the bus was stopped at Pumpwell circle by a group of men who raised questions about the interfaith duo traveling together.
