And it keeps coming folks. Just last month in our good old Mumbai - Cong/UPA/NCP ruled state
Tauba, tabua, if the perpetrator was say named Ravi instead of Riyaz, Renukaji and her beer-sloshed-pinko-chaddis would have shut down the city.
22 year old Pak girl beaten up for sporting tattoo in Urdu - no not in Kabul or Quetta, in MUMBAI's poshest mall!!
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A Pakistani national, who had come to pursue a course in production from Whistling Woods International Institute in Mumbai, was beaten up at a Malad mall last week for sporting a tattoo in Urdu on her back. The incident scared the girl so much that she left for Pakistan on Friday.
<b>Saba Najam, 22, was roughed up at Hypercity Mall in Malad last Monday after some people spotted a tattoo in Urdu on her back. </b>The incident took place at around 8.30 pm when Saba had gone to the washroom of the mall.
<b>Some women suddenly approached her and assaulted her over the tattoo which read âShukr Alham Du Lillahâ, meaning âThank you, Godâ.
</b>
Riyaz Ahmed Talukdar, a member of Jan Seva Sangh, a local NGO, had first spotted the tattoo on Sabaâs back and informed his mother, Shabana Talukdar. Riyaz said, âWhen I saw the tattoo I was furious as holy words from the Quran were on her back.â Shabana, along with a few other women, then came to the mall in the next 15 minutes and confronted Saba in the washroom.
They slapped the girl several times before the mall management intervened.
âSince both the parties concerned are our patrons we simply referred the matter to the police,â said Manvir Singh, spokesperson of Hypercity Mall.
The group, along with Saba, were taken to the Bangur Nagar police station.
According to Bangur Nagar police, Saba apologised profusely and said she hadnât known that the tattoo would hurt anybodyâs sentiments.
Danaji Nalavde, inspector in-charge of crime at the police station, said, âThere was nothing objectionable about the tattoo and there are no legal provisions under which we could have booked her. But since the group of people were agitated we asked Saba to give her statement in writing.â
In her statement <b>Saba said she was sorry and that she would get the tattoo removed through laser surgery in the next three days</b>. Nevertheless, the cops referred the matter to legal experts to see if they could book Saba for hurting religious sentiments or under any other legal provision.
On Friday night, however, Saba left for Lahore. Ravi Gupta, executive director of Whistling Woods told Mumbai Mirror that Saba seemed extremely disturbed after the incident.
<i>(wow, Saba can deal with Talibanis in Lahore than our Mumbai, will Mahashtra govt offer any apology?)
</i>
âWe had spoken to the cops who assured us that there was no case against her. We told her there was nothing to worry about but she was too scared,â he said.
Saba hails from Lahore in Pakistan and had come to Mumbai in 2007 on a student visa. She joined Whistling Woods in 2008.
She got the tattoo done from a tattoo parlour in Bandra in February 2008.
<b>Saba was unavailable for comment. Meanwhile, Riyaz says he is happy Saba has left the country.</b>

Moral of the story: If you are Paki and hold our city as hostage for 72 hours killing 180+ people, we'll house you in best of facilities and hopefully one day commute your death sentence, if we ever get to that.
If you come here in peace to study but sport a tatoo that offend fragile egos of our minorities, we'll beat the crap out of you and chase you out.
