Last week, another brother and sister duo were attacked by a group of men who, it is said, thought they were lovers. The boy Salam, received injuries in his head and nose and had been admitted in a private hospital after the attack. Read: Brother-sister duo attacked by moral police gang who thought they were loversLast year in October, a group of Yuva Morcha activists vandalised a coffee shop in Calicut claiming that they were "forced to react" against "immoral activities" in public places.
