for photoshopping the picture of a woman MBBS student with a boy belonging to another religion and circulating it on social media.

Police said on Monday that the third year MBBS student of a reputed college of Mangaluru city had lodged a complaint in this regard with Mangaluru Woman Police station. She had stated that miscreants have used the photograph she posted on her Instagram page.
