On July 28, 2012, members of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike brutally assaulted 13 young people, including molesting several young women, in Mangaluru. The incident, which was captured on video, sparked national outrage and protests. This attack was reminiscent of the infamous 2009 Mangaluru pub attack, further intensifying public anger.
Despite clear video evidence and victims identifying the attackers in court, a judge acquitted all 39 accused on August 6, 2024. In a segment of “Let Me Explain”, Pooja Prasanna from The News Minute delves into how these attackers managed to evade justice. The acquittal has raised serious questions about the legal process and accountability in cases of mob violence, drawing sharp criticism from activists and citizens alike.
