Bangle seller attack: Four held in Indore

A grab from a video of the assault

The police have so far arrested four men for allegedly assaulting a bangle seller for apparently using a ‘fake' name while selling his goods to women in Govind Nagar of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, an officer said on Tuesday.

The arrested people were part of a mob that thrashed 25-year-old Taslim Ali on August 22 after asking his name, he said. Banganga police station in-charge Rajendra Soni said the police are scanning video footage to identify and nab others involved in the attack. Police are also investigating the charges of POCSO and forgery registered against Ali.

In another development, a protest was held earlier in the day under the banner of a Hindu outfit in front of the Deputy Inspector General office against the "rise in anti-national incidents" in the city.
