A 65-year-old Muslim man was tortured and forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ by two unidentified bikers in Gangavati town of Karnataka’s Koppal district. An FIR was lodged following the victim’s complaint on November 30.
According to reports, the victim, identified as Hussainsab, lives in a small house with his daughter in Gangavati. Due to his poor eyesight, he had been begging in places like Koppal and Vijayanagar.
On the night of November 25, Hussainsab had returned to Gangavati from Hosapete. He was waiting for an autorickshaw when two unidentified motorcyclists offered him a lift. However, once the ride began, the duo started assaulting Hussainsab and verbally abusing him.
