BENGALURU: Ramesh Vaishnav, 38, a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) member going to a routine assembly (shakha meeting) was allegedly attacked by a gang of men in the Majestic area early on Saturday. While Ramesh is nursing multiple fractures in government-run victoria hospital, the RSS displayed its strength with a huge protest outside the DCP’s office.Amit Kataria, Ramesh’s friend and an RSS member told STOI: “The protest was to condemn the attack, I don’t think people should attack someone and just walk free. We’ve already lodged a complaint and the investigation is on.”The Cottonpet police, where the complaint has been lodged, were yet to identify the attackers, although Amit said that they (RSS members) have identified a few people and informed the police. “There were a gang of 20 men,” Amit claimed.However, no official confirmation about the identities of the attackers was immediately available. RSS members, however, suspect the attackers could have been from the group of guys who had had an argument with Ramesh on Friday.“Yesterday, the Shakha was going on as usual in a playground here, where some of these guys were playing cricket. Following the ball interfering with our meeting, Ramesh had requested them to move a little away and play. They, however, began arguing and even threatened Ramesh. We did not think the matter would be this serious,” Amit said.The RSS Shakha in Majestic has been operational for more than 60 years and Ramesh has been a member for nearly two decades. It was to be another regular meeting that Ramesh was to attend on Saturday. “It was at about 6am and he was on his way to the meeting when he was attacked with iron rods,” Amit claimed.He added that the members of the Majestic Shakha have already met the police officers and have urged them to arrest the culprits. Ramesh could not be contacted immediately and the police, however, have not managed to make any arrests yet.
