Ten suspected activists of Sri Ram Sena have been taken into custody for allegedly assaulting customers of a pub in Mangalore. Around 15-20 activists, reportedly belonging to the Sena had barged into the pub late last night and assaulted couples dancing there, said a senior police official.
The attackers were apparently miffed with the pub owner for allowing boys and girls to dance in an ‘obscene manner’.
No damage was caused to the pub, but the attacks came in for strong criticism from the government.
Reacting to the incident, minister for women and child development, Renuka Chowdhury said the assault was an attempt to "Talibanise India" and sought an explanation from the Karnataka government.
"I am absolutely horrified at the insensitivity on the eve of Republic Day. I will seek an explanation from the state government as well as self-styled Sri Ram Sena," Renuka said.
"This incident is an attempt to Talibanise India. There is no place for these kinds of acts in India as it is a democracy," Chowdhury said, adding that BJP leaders should condemn the incident.
Senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily termed the attack an act of "inhuman behaviour" and called for stringent action against the culprits.
"It should be condemned by all and the culprits should be punished with stringent action", said Moily while reacting to the incident.
