Mangaluru, Mar 19: The driver of a private bus, which was attacked last week by the Bajrang Dal miscreants, who forced Govt First Grade College, Mudipu, to cancel its study tour, has lodged a complaint against the attackers for assaulting him and damaging the bus.
It could be recalled here that on March 14 night a large number of miscreants of Sangh Parivar created a ruckus at the college campus preventing 38 students and four staff of a college from going on an educational tour citing the presence of more Muslim boys in the group.
The bus driver Rama lodged a complaint at jurisdictional Konaje police station against suspected Bajrang Dal activists for having pelted stones at the bus, damaging the glass windows.
According to the complaint, a mob of 100-150 miscreants stopped the bus containing the college students in front of the college, while 10-15 members of the mob pelted stones at the bus. One of the miscreants also abused and slapped him.
The bus driver stated in the complaint that he was delayed in lodging a complaint sine he had been to Bengaluru as a replacement bus driver.
