Exorcism is performed by constructing a tomb-like structure on houses numbered 199 and 200. Both of these homes have been given the titles Shankar Dharu and Sukhdev. However, an individual named Zakir Khan is said to have occupied these houses. Locals claim that Rohingya and Bangladeshi Muslims reside here.
Zaheer Khan is 22 years old. He is a street vendor. The arrest of the accused came after Hindus held a massive protest in front of the Mulbagal Town police station.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday accused the state Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of indulging minority appeasement politics while doing "injustice" to Dalits and tribal communities.
