The Bengaluru police have registered an FIR following a complaint by a right-wing Hindu activist alleging that he and his associates were assaulted by migrant workers in Hulimangala, amid a counter-complaint that the activist’s group trespassed into their settlement, assaulted residents, and demanded money.

In his complaint, activist and Bengaluru -based doctor Nagendrappa T said an unidentified person called him on October 28, claiming that Bangladeshi nationals were illegally living in Shikaripalya. He said he went to the area around 4.30 pm with three members of his organisation.

Nagendra further alleged that as they tried to leave, around 100 people chased them, knocked them down and kicked them on their heads, legs, chests and backs.…
