With the moral police on the loose in Mangalore, the tragedy was only waiting to happen. In the first death after a series of attacks on women in the south Karnataka town, a 16-year-old college student committed suicide unable to bear the humiliation after a group of men ‘‘caught’’ her dating a man and handed them over to police. The needle of suspicion was on Sri Ram Sene.
On Wednesday, she and her friend —Saleem, a Muslim bus conductor — were brought to Mulki Circle police station by a group of men after the couple was ‘‘spotted in a secluded place’’, police said. Police took the couple into custody, but let the men, who were described by a police officer as ‘‘Hindu youth’’, go.
