In a shocking incident in Bengaluru, Kannada actress Harshika Poonacha and her husband, actor Bhuvann Ponnannaa, were subjected to a horrifying encounter when they were attacked by a group of men near the Frazer Town area. The altercation reportedly ensued because the couple was speaking in their local Kannada language.
Harshika shared a distressing video of the incident, capturing the moment when a mob surrounded their car and engaged in a physical altercation with her husband. Adding to the ordeal, Harshika claimed that the assailants were thieves who attempted to snatch her husband’s gold chain and targeted other valuables in the car.
Narrating the harrowing experience, Harshika revealed, “I was on a casual dinner with family on a late evening in a restaurant called Karama in Mosque road, Pulikeshi Nagar near Frazer Town area a couple of days ago. Post completing dinner, we received our vehicle from valet parking & when we were about to move 2 men suddenly appeared near the driver seat window & started arguing that the vehicle is very big and if moved suddenly it could touch them.”
She continued, “My husband ignored it, but when he moved the vehicle ahead a little, these 2 men started abusing him & my family in their language saying these Kannada people should be taught a lesson, & even tried to hit him on the face.”
The situation escalated rapidly as more members of the group joined, with Harshika alleging that they not only vandalized their vehicle but also verbally abused and attempted to physically assault them. Additionally, the assailants expressed hostility towards the couple for conversing in Kannada, demanding that they speak in other languages prevalent in the area.
Expressing her disappointment with law enforcement, Harshika lamented the lack of assistance from the local police. She criticized the indifference of a police official who, instead of intervening in the situation, was reportedly seen leisurely consuming juice nearby.
The incident has reignited concerns over the safety and security of individuals, particularly those speaking in regional languages, highlighting the need for robust measures to address such incidents of violence and discrimination.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
