Advocate Hussain Owais, a respected member of the legal fraternity in Bengaluru, personally visited the spot upon receiving information. Deeply concerned by the condition in which the Qur’ans were found, Adv. Owais immediately filed a formal complaint with the Bengaluru City Police, seeking appropriate legal action.
