Mangalore, Aug 3 : The attack on youngsters who were celebrating a birthday at Padil's Morning Mist Home Stay on July 28, has been taken seriously by the Karnataka high court.

Following the PIL filed in the high court, Justice Vikramjit Sen and Justice Aravind Kumar, who watched the raw video of the attack have questioned the government on the identity of the man in grey chequered shirt (later seen in a red jacket).

Police have reportedly replied to the judges that the man has been identified as Ganesh alias Munna alias Kaati Munna.

When the judges asked if any action has been taken on him,  the police answered that Munna was arrested on the same evening.

It was observed in the video that Munna had beaten the young boys and girls black and blue. His assault has created wide outrage among people who have watched the video. In one instance, he was even seen lifting a girl forcibly.

Munna was also reportedly involved in the 2009 pub attack along with Subhash Padil. Later he shifted his loyalty from Rama Sene to Bajarang Dal. When Subhash moved from Bajarang Dal to Hindu Janajagarana Vedike, Munna too followed suit, it is said.
