A senior orthopedic surgeon took to social media to share the frightening pictures taken from the terrace of a nearby house. Dr Durga Prasad Hegde wrote, “Recent incident late at night, two groups were fighting on Udupi Manipal Highway near Kunjibettu. Where is the younger generation going??? Strict action must be taken against all these culprits.”

Meanwhile, the political row has erupted over this viral video as the BJP blamed the Congress party for the situation in the state. In an official X-post, the Karnataka BJP wrote, “Gang wars, rape of young women, assault, murder, bomb blasts, ganja, opium, rave parties, Pakistan Zindabad slogans etc. are commonplace under the rule of the Congress government. This is the result of the government giving free hand to terrorists, fanatics, goons and miscreants. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is making the police into puppets. In the state. This is the Karnataka model that the Congress is showing to the country.”

The Karnataka police are yet to arrest the other people involved in the incident.
