Mangalore Today News Network

Iron Rods


A few days ago, Arup was part of a procession that was taking an idol of Goddess Saraswati for immersion in the Hooghly river on the occasion of a local festival.

Some bystanders sexually harassed the women in the procession with obscene remarks. Arup and his friend asked them to stop. On their way back, they were hit with rods by the men they had confronted earlier.

Mr Bhandari was rushed to hospital with severe head injuries and went into a coma. His family has filed a police case, but so far, no arrests have been made.
