Mangaluru, Jun 19: Mohammad Haneef Guddemane, a cattle trader, who was thrashed by the miscreants of Bajrang Dal while legally transporting cattle last weekend, today appeared before media and demanded appropriate action against the assailants.
The attack took place on June 14 at Urwa in the city when he was transporting four buffalos along with all necessary documents. The attack was also captured on a CCTV camp.
The victim, who addressed a press conference today, said that it was not the first time he is transporting cattle as into animal and husbandry for years.
“I had bought 10 she-buffaloes on June 13 from Ranennur and obtained certificate from the local government veterinary doctor after which the animals were brought to my village,” said Haneef, who is a resident of Jokatte on the outskirts of the city.
He said that he was transporting four out of the ten she buffaloes he had bought to the slaughterhouse at Mangaluru on June 14 when a gang of around 15 members which intercepted his vehicles near Urwa police station dragged him out of the vehicle, rained abusive words at him, made blasphemous remarks about his religion, and hit him with a helmet besides kicking him.
He said that three of the assailants were armed with sabre, iron rod and wooden sticks.
"They also tied me to the vehicle and assaulted. They also attacked me with their arms but I escaped. Their plan was to kill me. Fortunately, the police reached the spot and the assailants escaped. However, they thoroughly damaged my vehicle and robbed Rs 7,800 I had with me. I got treated at Highland Hospital in the city," he stated.
Expressing shock over the soft corner approach of the police towards the assailants, he said that only six of around 15 attackers were booked by the police.
“All the accused were let off by the police after registering petty cases. Ironically, the police had not recorded my statement. On the day of attack, they had asked me to sign on a paper. It contained the complaint written by themselves. Hence, on June 17 I visited the Urwa police station and recorded my statement,” he said.
He said that even though he has all the documents pertaining to the cattle that he had purchased, the police had registered false cattle theft charge against him.
Former city mayor K Ashraf, Hyder, bother of the victim and Shamsuddin, Jokatte gram panchayat vice president were present at the press meet.

If india gives him same punishment then assume that india is developed, in india criminals are given more respect than the victims.
Insane person. why dont you give him similar punishment....
Leave Bihar Campaign :)
Is controlling criminals important or fighting against Modi important? Nitish and KC Tyagi, please tell us
Shameless act from a political goonda. BTW had it been a BJP politician's son, CD would have had BJP in the headline. No I am not condoning the act if it was a BJP politician's son involved, I am just talking about how biased this channel is.
if the leader in the SUV was a BJP leader, your headline would have screamed the word BJP. Bajrangi RSS etc!
That politician's son is going to be get caught and will soon be released without facing any punishment.
that's how it happens in India!!!
in case of BJP politician, headline would have been ' BJP politician shoots 19 year old boy'. Since crime is committed by a non BJP politician, it only says politician in hearing.
This how the journalists manipulate the news.
Biharis Deserves... who voted corrupt Goonda Rajya
CM Nithish Kumar is in Kerala, he want the Kerala to be made same like Bihar.
Nitish Kumar is busy trying to cobble up a coalition in his desperate attempt to become the PM of this country. Meanwhile, the state is ruled by Lalu and his sons. So the jungle raj continues in Bihar.
its time to make bihar, up, wb ,delhi and kerala as independent nations. kick all these aholes from rest of india, let them solve their civility issue themselves.
gutter people
THERE IS TOTAL JUNGLE RAJ PREVAILING IN BIHAR SINCE LAST 25 YEARS DURING RJD- JD(U) MISRULE. NITISH KUMAR IS RUNNING GOVT WITH HELP OF CORRUPT MEDIAS WHO ARE GETTING HUGE MONEY I.E. HUNDREDS OF CRORES PER ANNUM FROM JD(U) GOVT FOR FLASHING ROSY PICTURE OF CORRUPT AND WORST NITISH GOVT. LALOO HAS RETURNED REIGN OF TERROR IN STATE WHERE HIS COMMUNITY IS INDULGED IN MASS ANTI-NATIONAL ACTIVITIES LIKE NAXALISM, MURDERS, DACOITIES, KIDNAPPING ETC. THIS IS BEYOND CAPACITY OF CM TO CONTROL IT. SO PEOPLE OF BIHAR IS BOUND TO SUFFER FOR ELECTING CORRUPT AND WORST PERFORMING GOVT WHEN THERE WILL BE NO PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
