Hindutva activists in Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district on Friday celebrated the marriage of a Muslim woman to a Bajrang Dal activist. The Hindutva activists from Surathkal town in Dakshina Kannada posted messages on social media claiming that “Ayesha has become Akshatha”.
They also shared a photograph of the couple on social media, in which they could be seen dressed in traditional Hindu attire. This incident is likely to stir controversy in the communally-sensitive region. The couple is expected to appear before the Surathkal police station on Friday evening.
As per reports, Prashanth Bhandari, a Bajrang Dal activist, has married Ayesha, a local girl. Both live in the same locality and have been in a relationship for the past three years.
