'Beaten with bats, rods, beer bottles and sticks': Civic worker assaulted over banner removal in Karnataka; 7 arrested
HAVERI: Raju Doddamani, a municipal worker, was violently assaulted inside a bar on Saturday evening. The attack, led by transgender person Akshata KC and Shantu Koravar, left Raju with severe injuries. The assailants used cricket bats during the attack. Due to the severity of his injuries, Raju was shifted to KIMS Hospital in Hubballi. Following the incident, Haveri Town Police arrested seven people after registering an FIR. The police have taken Shantappa Koravar, Arjun Koravar, Pratham, Pakiresh Koravar, Mukesh Patel, Prajwal, and Ganesh to their custody. The case is currently being investigated at the Haveri Town Police Station. According to police reports, the conflict originated from the removal of an unauthorised birthday banner following instructions from the City Municipal Council Haveri commissioner on June 7. The attackers specifically chose municipal workers as their targets. The situation escalated when a group of transgenders and troublemakers attacked Raju and another civic worker Feerappa Shirabadagi. The disturbance increased when transgender Akshata KC entered the City Municipal Council premises partially undressed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The group also issued death threats to civic workers. Feerappa subsequently filed a complaint against the group for assault and hindering public work. In response, the primary accused, Akshata, along with 10 others, entered Lakshmi Venkateshwar Bar and attacked Raju Doddamani whilst he was drinking with friends. They assaulted him with cricket bats, rods, beer bottles, and sticks until he lost consciousness, requiring hospitalisation. The attackers recorded the assault, which later appeared on social media. The entire incident was also captured on CCTV. Municipal workers staged a protest outside Haveri Town Police Station, demanding the arrest of all perpetrators involved in the assault. The incident has raised questions about the safety of municipal workers and the need for stricter enforcement of rules regarding unauthorised public installations. "We have filed a complaint against those accused of attacking civic workers. We maintain zero tolerance for such attacks, and we have arrested seven accused already. Our police are searching for more suspects believed to be involved in this incident. We will initiate legal action against them," shared Anshu Kumar Srivastava, SP Haveri.

3 Dalit minors tied to flagpole, assaulted in Karnataka; 8 held
Three Dalit minor boys were allegedly tied to a flagpole and brutally assaulted by a mob of upper-caste villagers in Harogeri village under the Naragund police station limits in Karnataka's Gadag district. The assault, which took place on May 28, surfaced only after videos began circulating on social media, triggering widespread outrage. According to police, the attack was triggered by allegations that the boys had sent obscene messages to a girl from an upper-caste community. Using this as justification, a mob of around 60 people allegedly tied the boys to a gram panchayat flagpole and beat them with ropes, sticks, and slippers. The attack left the boys with serious injuries and swelling across their bodies.

'We registered a case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and BNS provisions on May 30 and have arrested eight persons so far. Many accused are absconding, but we arrested four more on Friday and are continuing our efforts to trace the remaining suspects.' A separate POCSO case has also been registered against 30 people in connection with the incident, police said. The brutality didn't stop with the assault. According to the families of the victims, when they attempted to intervene, they were threatened and chased away by members of the dominant caste. 'Untouchability is still very much alive in our village,' one of the victim's parents told HT. 'This incident is just another example of the discrimination we face every day.'

He was rushed to KIMS Hospital in Hubballi, where he remains in critical condition. While a case was eventually registered at the Naragund police station, local sources indicated that there were initial efforts to suppress the complaint, with some community leaders reportedly pushing for a compromise. It was only after the visuals went viral online that authorities moved to take formal action.
