Bhatkal, May 22: The Uttara Kannada police have arrested thirteen persons for waylaying a truck and stealing over two dozen cows from it after attacking the legal transporters at Murdeshwara in Bhatkal taluk.

The arrested have been identified as Janardhan, Nagaraj Nayak, Venkatesh, Kumar, Rama, Nagaraj Nayyar, Venkatesh, Bhaskar, Mahesh, Manjunath, Annappa, Shabhareesh, and Girish. All the accused are said to be activists of a saffron group.

Police also have recovered 24 of the 28 cows that had been taken away from the truck by the accused.

The attack took place last Sunday when 28 cows were being transported in the truck from a milk dairy in Gujarat’s Gir, to another in Kerala’s Thrissur. There were two drivers and two cleaners in the truck.

Police sources said that when the truck was passing through Murdeshwar on the National Highway 66 at 8 p.m, a group of miscreants waylaid it and hurled stones. The group pulled out the four persons from the truck and assaulted them.

Though the drivers said that they had permission for transporting the cows, the group did not bother to check the documents. Some persons in the group also reportedly thrashed a couple of policemen who came to the spot. Later, the group members lowered the cows from the truck and started taking them away.

Vinayak Patil, Superintendent of Police of Uttara Kannada said that the accused had been booked for dacoity and assault. He said that more people are likely to be arrested in the case.

These terrorists are not cow rakshaks but cow thiefs and cow bhakshaks.  This is their normal duty to steal cows and either sell them or eat the meat.   They should be treated as terrorists and put in jail for ever.   Its unfortunate that police are soft to these terrorists especially in Uttara kannada dist.    These terrorists regularly steal cows by stopping the carriers.   These terrorists took away the cows in the presence of police and police did not take any action unless pressure came from higher authorities.   New state Govt should be bold on these terrorits and teach good lesson so that none else should try to steal live stock.   They are jobless people and being hired + lured by sangh parivar.   They usual steal cows from the open area and gow shala and blame others.

Bengaluru, Jun 5: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Thursday said government employees and owners of tractors and other vehicles must return the BPL ration cards immediately, failing which stringent legal action would be initiated against them.

The CM issued directions in this regard to officials as he conducted a review meeting of the Food and Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs department today. Proper supply of ration must be ensured to eligible beneficiaries and action has to be taken to prevent misuse of the facility by those not eligible, Yediyurappa was quoted as saying by his office in a release.

Nearly 63,000 ration cards were cancelled before the COVID-19 outbreak, he noted and directed officials to initiate a campaign to cancel all illegal ration cards. "this campaign would help in curtailing the financial burden on the State's reserves," he added.

In the backdrop of coronavirus pandemic, both the Central and State governments have distributed sufficient quantities of ration, and about 95 percent ration cardholders have availed the benefit, the release said. Under the Chief Ministers Anila Bhagya Scheme, 98,079 beneficiaries have been given 3 gas cylinders free of cost, it said.
