The student's brother was attacked at Bismillah hotel in Malpe, a port in Udupi district, at around 9 pm Monday night.
Hazra Shifa, a hijab-wearing student from Karnataka's Udupi, has alleged that her brother was attacked by a mob of right-wing supporters, linking the violence to her decision to continue to wear a hijab. The Udupi student is one of the petitioners in the hijab ban case. My brother was brutally attacked by a mob. Just because I continue to stand for My #Hijab which is MY RIGHT. Our property were ruined as well. Why?? Can't I demand my right? Who will be their next victim? I demand action to be taken against the Sangh Parivar goons. @UdupiPolice
