Mangaluru: Bajrang Dal’s District President Puneeth Attavar on Tuesday said that the members of Bajrang Dal had informed the cops before going to “Recycle the Lounge” pub on Monday night when they attacked the pub.
Speaking to media reporters on Tuesday, Puneeth said the activists of Bajrang Dal had received information that students whose kissing video had gone viral a week ago were partying at the pub.
“It is true that we have received information about those students partying there. We informed the police and we went there.” He said while refuting the claims of any attack on the pub.
“We went there and we spoke to the manager and staff of the pub. We asked them to vacate the students from the pub as some of them were minors.” He added.
Journalist Naveen Soorinje in a Facebook post slammed the police department for not initiating action against the Bajrang Dal activists when they were informed about the attack. He also questioned the police department why they could not arrest Bajrang Dal activists as a precautionary measure and why they had to wait until the attack to reach the spot.
