Karnataka: Police Assault Muslim Scholar

On 2nd June 2023, an inter-religious couple (Muslim girl and Hindu boy) caused a stir when they were spotted attempting to elope from Karnataka’s Bhatkal city. The incident unfolded near the Shiroor toll gate, prompting people to report to the local authorities.

Moulana Abdul Aleem Nadvi, an Islamic scholar from Shiroor and a teacher of Islamic studies at Touheed Public School, happened to pass by the area while the incident was taking place, thereby started asking about the incident. Surprisingly, the police personnel, including Sub Inspector Niranjan Gowda and police constables from Byndoor, who arrived at the scene, began abusing Moulana physically and verbally without any apparent justification.

Despite the mounting pressure and calls for an apology, the sub-inspector declined to offer any remorse for the mistreatment of Moulana Abdul Aleem Nadvi.
