Beaten By Both Hindus And Muslims: Cops On Bengaluru Man's Assault | Read
A political row has broken out over the assault of a Bengaluru shopkeeper for allegedly playing loud music at the time of Azaan (Islamic call to prayer). The shopkeeper claims he was playing Hanuman Chalisa at this shop in central Bengaluru when the assault took place. However, the police said they did not find any substantial evidence to support the accusation and the complaint did not mention it. Police have also specified that the altercation wasn't communal. "There's no mention of Hanuman Chalisa in the complaint. The group that assaulted the shopkeeper included both Hindus and Muslims," a senior police official said.
