Bengaluru: To fight against the deadly coronavirus, social distancing norms, hand sanitisers and masks have become a basic requisite.

The incident happened at a Reliance Mart in Bengaluru. The guard asked the Muslim youth not to enter the shop without a mask and this angered the youth. Along with his friends, the youth attacked the guard with a helmet. However, few people outside the place protected the guard and started bashing the youth and his friends.
