Karnataka: Resentment is spreading in Karnataka after a brutal video showing the attack on a 38-year-old woman in Davanagere went viral.
According to reports, the woman, Shabina Banu, along with her relative Nasreen (32) and a man named Fayaz, was summoned to the local mosque, Jama Masjid in Tavarekere village of the district’s Channagiri taluk, after a complaint was filed by her husband, Jameel Ahmed Shameer.
According to officials, when Shabina’s husband found Fayaz and Nasreen at their home, he lodged a complaint against them, leading to a confrontation. Upon reaching the mosque, Shabina was ambushed by six men who thrashed her with sticks and pipes, leaving her severely injured.
