Two young men were stabbed during a Muharram procession at the Mallasamudra village in Karnataka’s Gadag on Tuesday, according to reports.

The injured have been identified as Tousif Hosamani and Mushtaq Hosamani. One of the two young men is battling for his life. Both are being treated at the Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) Hospital.
