Alleging that the violence in the Ragi Gudda locality of Shivamogga was pre-planned against Hindu families, Bharatiya Janata Party State president Nalin Kumar Kateel has demanded a judicial probe into the incidents.
Mr. Kateel spoke to journalists after visiting the trouble-hit localities along with other leaders of the party on Thursday.
“The accused attacked Hindu houses. Women were assaulted. There were a few Christians who suffered from the attack. However, there was not a single Muslim family that was attacked. This shows the incidents were pre-planned and targeted at Hindus”, he said.
