Fifteen-year-old Ashwini committed suicide because she felt humiliated.
But the men who caught and thrashed her and her Muslim friend haven’t been arrested yet.
In the Mangalore pub attack earlier, right wing Hindu activists thrashed women publically. The men from Sri Ram Sene were bailed out within a week.
So when Mangalore’s reputation is under attack what do the authorities do?
The Mayor presses charges against a Union Minister for calling the developments Talibanisation.

On Wednesday, a court allowed Mayor Ganesh Hosebettu to file an FIR against Women and Child Development Minister Renuka Chowdhury.
“I am amazed and amused . They must actually go against those who attacked. In fact papers also called it Talibanisation,” she says.

But what’s even more shocking is the candid admission to NDTV by Mangalore’s top cop.
Sateesh Kumar, SP of Mangalore, says: “We have managed to find out who the accused are, we will be shortly arresting them.”
“If the police take action nobody will dare do it again. We have the Police, the home minister only to protect us. But their statements shock and scare me,” says a local.
The Managlore Mayor has acted against a Central Minister to prove a point. But many question, why are those who tarnished Mangalore’s image in the first place free?
