A woman wearing a black veil walked into an ATM kiosk located at JP Nagar at 9.15 pm. She was asked to take off the veil, by a security guard Kumar before stepping inside the kiosk.

An altercation ensued between the two and the woman started hurling abuses at Kumar.

BP Mallesh, owner of a shop located next to the ATM kiosk, said, "Kumar doesn't speak much Kannada because he is a Malayali but he can somehow manage to communicate in Kannada. The woman was a north Indian.

However, around 9.45 pm, the woman's boyfriend Ajit Singh came to the spot and assaulted Kumar.
Singh also started hurling abuses against Kannadigas.

A large crowd gathered at the spot soon after.

The onlookers called the police who took both the men to the Subramaniya Nagar police station first for questioning.

Later at 1 am Kumar and Singh were taken to Jayanagar General Hospital for a medical check-up.

"A complaint has been filed against Singh but we don't know much about him. So far, we have no idea who the woman is. The investigation will commence in the morning," said Head Constable Ramaiah.
