Mangaluru: Baker attacked for supporting Israel in FB post

Mangaluru: The owner of a bakery at Karnad in Mulki was attacked by a group of locals for expressing support on Facebook for Israel’s actions in the recent 11-day conflict with Hamas.

The attackers threatened the young man and forced him to apologise and recorded the whole ordeal on video.

Later, with help from some religious organisations, a complaint was filed at the Mulki police station against the attackers.

MLA Umanath Kotian and a few local BJP leaders visited the bakery and the police station.
