In Bengaluru, a 38-year-old woman, Shabina Banu, was assaulted by a mob of men after her husband, Jameel Ahmed, lodged a complaint against her at a mosque due to a domestic dispute. The attack occurred on April 9 outside the mosque and was captured on video, leading to widespread public outrage when circulated on social media.
The incident began when Jameel found Shabina at home with her relative Nasreen and another individual, Fayaz, prompting him to file a complaint at the Jama Masjid in Tavarekere. Following the complaint, Shabina, Nasreen, and Fayaz were summoned to the mosque, where they were assaulted by a group of six men armed with sticks and pipes.
The attackers have been identified as Mohammad Niyaz (32), Mohammad Gauspeer (45), Chand Basha (35), Dastagir (24), Rasool T R (42), and Inayat Ullah (51). Authorities arrested all six immediately after the viral video circulated, and a case has been launched against them involving conspiracy, assault, and attempted murder.
This assault highlights serious issues related to domestic disputes and mob violence. The swift arrest of the attackers indicates a response from the authorities, yet the incident raises concerns about community intervention and the safety of women. The public outcry following the viral footage underscores the need for heightened awareness and protective measures against domestic violence and mob justice.
