Chikkballapur: A group of Muslim men thrashed a Hindu man for having snacks with a Muslim woman at a food joint in Karnataka's Chikkballapur city on Thursday.

The police are searching for the accused after the victims complained to them.

After noticing the victims' religion, the accused approached them when they were having their food at Gopika Chaat house.

As the accused started to thrash the Hindu man, the Muslim woman tried to rescue the victim by saying that she knew him, the police said.

However, the attackers picked up an argument saying that going out with a Hindu man was un-Islamic and the woman to apologise, the police said.

The police have secured the video which has gone viral on social media and an investigation is underway.
