Mangalore, May 16: A man was reportedly assaulted by a group of four near Noorani Jumma Masjid near Kumpala on Friday May 16 over a case of alleged conversion.









Mohammed Saleem (42) was reportedly assaulted by Mushtaq Ahmed, Baban Nawaz, J K Shouqat and Ashrath Hussain after prayers at around 1.45 pm.





Source said that the foursome have been forcibly converting people to their community and that they had already done so with three persons. When they did it for the fourth time, Saleem came to know about it and objected, telling them that forcible conversion was against the tenets of Islam.





It is said that Saleem had even filed a complaint with Ullal police two months ago but no action was taken.





On Friday, the four persons confronted Saleem near the mosque and arguments erupted between them. Saleem was allegedly thrashed by them, and was later admitted to hospital.
