Mangaluru, Jan 3: In view of inhuman behaviour exhibited with a couple from different religions, one of whom was said to be a movie actor, during their visit to Subrahmanya police station recently, Dakshina Kannada district superintendent of police (SP), Sudheer Kumar Reddy, has suspended two police personnel of that station.
The suspended officials have been identified as Prashanth Kumar and Sandhya Kumari.
A lady who identified herself as a movie actor, was found roaming around with a youth belonging to a religion other than her own in Subrahmanya on December 20. Allegedly, some activists of a Hindu organization had, in an act of moral policing, harassed them.

After the information about the couple, Subrahmanya police had brought the couple to the station for questioning. Video footage allegedly showing the lady making a statement about inhuman way they were treated by the police had become viral.
During the questioning, the lady admitted that she had left her home without informing family members. It is said that during the visit by the lady's male companion to the police station on December 21, the staff behaved with him in an indecent manner. The lady was sent away thereafter with her father, and the young man, in the company of his uncle.
The police department, in the meantime, is continuing with the investigation into the incident.
