Mangalore: A fanatical rightwing group notorious for creating communal tensions and indulging in moral policing has struck again in Karnataka, this time assaulting women guests at a bar in Mangalore. The activists of Sri Rama Sene entered the Amnesia Bar and Restaurant on Dr Shivaram Karanth Road on Saturday evening and threatened the women sitting inside. The men, who took objection to women drinking alcohol, pushed them outside, many women falling to the ground while they were being driven out......
The Sene activists accused the women of ‘‘involving themselves in immoral activities, including consuming alcohol, dressing indecently, and mixing with youths of other faith’’. The men will be produced in a court on Tuesday......
The Sene was also responsible for the attack on the Bangalore home of Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi’s daughter Selvi during the Cauvery protests in September 2007.
