On Monday, a Muslim student Md Rehan (14), was brutally thrashed for wearing a skullcap while attending private tuition in Ilkal town of Bagalkot, Karnataka, Maktoob Media reported.

Further, it has come to the fore that when some Muslim youth came to talk about the matter, the Muslim students allege that they were beaten by more than 40-50 Sangh goons, after which 2 students received serious injuries.
“Rehan had gone for tuition after offering Namaz,” Maktoob Media quotes a student activist, Salim Malik. “When he entered, his tutor was angered by wearing a skullcap and told him not to wear it,” he added.
There has been a surge in anti-Muslim hate crimes in Karnataka, ruled by Hindu Nationalist BJP government.
The Muslim students alleged that the tutor— Ashok B Hugar— had provoked the rest of the Hindu students by speaking against Rehan after which when the tuition was over, they brutally thrashed him.
A video of Rehan bleeding from his nose had surfaced on the internet. The police have filed two FIRs in connection with the attack, one of which is a complaint from a Hindu group against Muslim youth who confronted them for attacking Rehan.
“Sahil, Sameer and Mohammed had gone to confront them for attacking Rehan. But dozens of Sangh Parivar members attacked them and later filed an FIR against them,” Maktoob Media quoted Malik.
Meanwhile, Rehan’s parents declined to speak on the situation.
The three Muslim youth who were in hospital due to serious injuries have been detained, while Rehan’s friends also alleged intimidation in the hospital.
“A person named Tangadagi Manju, during treatment in the hospital. Threatened not to name him in police complaint and said otherwise he would stab them,” the students can be heard in the video.
“About eight people beat up our friends during treatment in the government hospital,” they added.
Meanwhile, Malik said “We complained to the police, after which the police have taken all our three friends into custody by telling them a case of mutual dispute.”
