Shivamogga Police have registered seven cases, including three with regard to the assault on youths, since the row over displaying the portraits of V.D. Savarkar began in the city on August 13.
Three youths were assaulted in different incidents reported since Saturday. The assaulted are Prem Singh, Saddam Hussain Jamkhand and another 17-year-old boy. Many BJP leaders have visited to enquire about the condition of Prem Singh, who was stabbed by a group of people near Gandhi Bazar soon after clashes broke out on Monday. The other two have been discharged from the hospital.
