Bengaluru: Local Janata Dal (Secular) MLA Zameer Ahmed met city police commissioner M N Reddi today, alleging that a “lot of innocent individuals have been picked up,” by police in connection to the mob violence that followed the alleged sexual harassment of a 8 year old in a school here on Wednesday January 7.
Angry residents had clashed with the police, set vehicles on fire and pelted stones after an eight-year-old girl complained of sexual harassment by a physical education teacher in a school in Bengaluru.
Speaking to Nasheman, Mr. Ahmed said that more than 18 individuals have been arrested. “Many of them, I am told are innocent, and have no connection to the violence.” He urged the police to investigate the matter with impartiality, and release all innocent individuals.
