Bengaluru: Akash and his parents went to his cousin’s sister’s house to wish her a happy birthday, gift her chocolates, and take photographs with them for memories. Akash shared the same photo SELFIE on his WhatsApp status. The girl’s family began fighting with the boy and his parents as a result of the selfie.
Following a heated argument, Akash and his parents left for their hometown Ballari the next day from Bengaluru city, but no one could have predicted this selfie would spark a war.
Furthermore, Akash was returning home after delivering food to his elder brother as he did every day, but it was a terrifying episode when ten boys encircled him and began severely assaulting him. Akash was pelted with punches and kicks, leaving him wounded and injured.
The Victim “Akash” had a Medico Legal Case (MLC) completed and had suffered internal injuries.
I went to the police station to file a complaint against the boys, but I was shocked to know that our relative had sent those boys to beat up my son over a mobile selfie, and It was unbelievable for us to know all this.
Our complaints were also ignored for a few days due to political influence, which delayed the complaint response and produced no results. “Akash’s mother.”
One of our acquaintances told us about the Rise UP For Rights organization and encouraged us to file a complaint with the Ballari police, which we did and received a response within hours. “Said Akash / Victim”
