Mangalore: On Aug.20, early morning when ladies were busy preparing for a festival of married women, a youth had brought a Muslim girl from Chikkamagalur to the city, promising to marry her, but left her at the Pompeii Ladies’ Hostel and ran away. She had no identity card on her and the hostel authorities naturally refused entry. Embarrassed, the forlorn girl dialled a number given by him, but it was a false number.
At this juncture, Tulunadu Rakshana Vedike entered the scene, looking for a girl missing from Manjeshwar, but found this lost girl in a love episode. The Vedike members contacted Pandeshwar women police by phone, and the female police took charge of the confused girls to save her character. The women police have promised to hand over the girl to her parents.
In this episode, Vedike chief Yogish Shetty Jeppu and his band of activists took all precautions to protect the helpless Muslim girl.
