Mangaluru: In Dakshina Kannada district, a distressing incident of moral policing took place where four men attacked a 22-year-old Muslim autorickshaw driver for giving a ride to a woman from a different faith. The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 2, when the woman hired Mohammed Ashiq’s autorickshaw to go to the Dharmasthala bus stop.
After dropping her off, on his way back, Ashiq was intercepted by the group of men who verbally abused and physically assaulted him for offering a ride to a woman of another faith. The Dharmasthala police have registered an FIR against the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, and an investigation is ongoing.
