More than 10 individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident, according to Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara. The minister stated that the victim did not die immediately but later succumbed to his injuries. A comprehensive report on the matter is still pending.
"An incident of mob violence has been reported involving an unidentified individual. I was informed that he was allegedly shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' during a local cricket match, which prompted some people to assault him. He didn't die on the spot but passed away later. Around 10 to 12 people have been arrested and further investigation is underway in search of absconding persons ," the state minister told reporters.
The violence erupted around 3 pm on Sunday near the Bhatra Kallurti temple in Kudupu village on the outskirts of Mangaluru. The cricket tournament involved 10 teams and more than 100 players.
According to witnesses, the incident began with an altercation between the victim and a man named Sachin, which rapidly escalated into a group assault. While some bystanders attempted to intervene, a portion of the crowd continued to beat the man with sticks and kicks.
Authorities were alerted around 5.30 pm after the victim's body was discovered near a temple.
Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Anupam Agarwal said, "Initially, the police registered a case of unnatural death and launched an investigation after the body was found near the temple grounds. A post-mortem conducted on 28 April confirmed that the death was due to multiple blunt force injuries and lack of medical attention."
