Mangalore, Jan 24: Some miscreants beat up a few girls at a lounge in the city on the evening of Saturday January 24.

The miscreants pretended to be customers and we went to check. Someone entered the lounge suddenly and started beating the girls shouting loudly, said the manager and a waiter in the lounge.
“When they entered, there were three or four couples as usual”, said the manager of the lounge.
“It is too bad. I came to have some food with my friend and there was no provocation,” said a customer who was present at the scene.
There was no dance or any other activity going on which might have provoked the attack, said Dr Rajagopal, partner of the lounge.
“It was business as usual and we do not permit any banned activities inside the hotel”, he added stating the miscreants were mentioning illegal activities.
As the girls were running to escape the miscreants, two of them fell down. But the miscreants continued beating them even when they had fallen down.
One of the boys was also attacked when he tried to questioned the attackers for the reason behind the violence.
Some people who were outside the lounge have claimed that there were about a dozen miscreants. They escaped afterwards, as the police entered the scene.
Police from Mangalore North police station visited the spot and registered a complaint lodged by Dr Rajagopal. Police sources informed that three people have been arrested in connection to the attack.
