Members of Anjuman-e-Islam Sunni Hanafi of Akkialur in Haveri district have strongly condemned moral policing reported in the district and elsewhere.
Secretary of the organisation Yasir Arafat Makandar has said that the members have also decided not to extend any support to the accused in the moral policing and gang-rape case reported in the district.
It is a heinous crime and civil society can never accept it. The Police Department should consider this seriously and arrest all accused involved in this crime and take strong action against them, he said.
The organisation members will not support the accused, but they will cooperate with the investigation, if required, he added.
