Bangalore : The State High Court has served  notices to the Home Department, Home Secretary, Chief Secretary and Mangalore Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh  in the wake of the Morning Mist moral policing incident and has sought a report on the incident within two weeks.

The High Court ruled as above after hearing a Public Interest Litigation filed by senior Bangalore based lawyer S Vasudeva seeking a CBI probe into the incident, on August 1, Wednesday.

During the hearing Chief Justice Vikramjit Sen said the Mangalore moral policing was no different from the Guwahati molestation case of a girl and added the Mangalore incident has been a shame to the state.

The Court has also directed the state government to furnish all details on the investigation into the case.

The petitioner had accused the state government of being lenient in its action, although it should have been on alert ever since the 2009 incident of attack on a pub in Mangalore.
