CHIKKAMAGALUR: Tensions flared in Chikkamagaluru after a group of Muslim youths allegedly pelted stones at a house where Hindu girls were present in Vijayapura area. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and taken a political turn.

The victim, a young woman, expressed her anger, saying that the police arrived only after the stone-pelting had stopped and didn’t provide adequate help.

The young woman who was in the house during the incident expressed her frustration, saying that the police are not providing adequate protection to women and are not taking their complaints seriously. She also questioned the police’s decision to file cases against those who came to their aid.

A local Muslim resident, who lives next to the victim’s house, condemned the actions of the Muslim youths, saying they were wrong to have pelted stones at the house. He claimed that he and others had caught the youths and handed them over to the police.

The incident has sparked protests from both Hindu and Muslim communities, with demands for action against the perpetrators. BJP Yuva Morcha president Santosh has alleged that the incident is part of a larger conspiracy to disrupt social harmony, saying that the youths involved in the stone-pelting were part of a larger network aiming to create trouble.

The police have registered cases against both parties and are investigating the matter. However, many are questioning the police’s response, with some alleging that they are not taking adequate action against the accused. The situation in Chikkamagaluru remains tense, with emotions running high on both sides. The police are trying to restore calm and bring the perpetrators to justice, but the incident has raised concerns about communal harmony in the area.

The incident has also sparked a debate about the role of the police in maintaining law and order, with many questioning their response to the situation. The police have assured that they will investigate the matter thoroughly and take action against those responsible.
