Bantwal: A group of unidentified individuals assaulted a boy who had stopped by the roadside near Koornadka on October 16 night.

The boy, associated with a local light and sound business in Kalladka, was returning from an event in a vehicle along with his team.

While en route, one of the boys in the vehicle felt nauseous and thus they stopped the car near Koornadka.
