Puttur : Ranjith, a student of Uppinangady Government First Grade College was beaten up by the relatives of a girl whom the student had allegedly harassed in the recent few days. He was then handed over to police who released him after a warning, as no police complaint was lodged by the girl.
In fact Ranjith had sometime back caused disturbance in the college after he pulled the hair of a Muslim girl. Though he was arrested, some organizations had staged agitations saying he was innocent. Ranjith who was released recently, had stayed at home without going to college. However Puttur MLA Shakuntala Shetty had convinced him to continue studies. But very soon he was at work and had begun sending vulgar messages and making phones to a girl who informed her parents.
The result was a thrashing on Friday.
