Even as the media glorification of public brutality is increasing alarmingly, a mob tortured two mental patients, mistaking them for thieves, near the city yesterday.
Shivagangiah (42) and Saravana (40) are mental patients from Sri Satya Sai Ashram near Sunkada Katte off Magadi Road and reportedly strayed from the asylum to Kempanahalli, a village near Bidadi, a 30-minute drive from the city.
