Student Assault in Bengaluru Sparks Alleged ABVP Involvement
A 19‑year‑old student from a student group was attacked in Bengaluru after saying he wanted the Prime Minister to resign.
Four masked men hit him with a wooden log and threatened him.
The police made a complaint and are looking for the attackers.
The student’s group says the attackers were from another student group, but that group says it is not true.
The incident is part of a larger protest by students across the country.
A 19‑year‑old AISA member was allegedly assaulted in Bengaluru’s Jalahalli on July 28 after making remarks about PM Narendra Modi.
The student claims four masked men on two‑wheelers struck him with a wooden log and threatened him to “dare to demand the resignation of Modi.”
Police registered an FIR on July 29 under sections 118, 126, 352 and 3(5) of the Indian Penal Code, seeking to identify the attackers.
AISA says the assailants were linked to the ABVP, while the ABVP denies any involvement, calling the allegations “baseless.”
The incident is part of a wider student‑youth movement protesting the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
