Honnavar, Feb 15: A white cow, which is revered as god by a section of local Hindus, turned violent and tried to gore a two-and-half-year-old child at Navilagon village in Honnavar taluk of Daishina Kannada.

The eight-year-old sister of the child managed to rescue the latter. They are the children of Kiran Shet, an LIC adviser and jeweller. The incident which took place on Tuesday was captured by a CC camera attached to their father’s jewellery shop. The footage is now going viral on social media.

Arati (8) was playing with her youngest brother Kartik in front of her house. Kartik was sitting on a tricycle and Arati was pushing it when a cow came running towards them.

As the cow appeared to go for the child, Arati picked him up and ran towards a corner. The cow followed, its horns coming tantalisingly close to the boy. Kartik seemed to be slipping but Arati held onto him tightly and quickly turned towards the wall, her back to the cow. The angry cow tried to gore her and she screamed.

As her family members rushed out and chased the cow, Arati took Kartik inside and secured him. “I had no time to think. At that moment, my only aim was to save my brother. Thank God, he escaped unhurt,” Arati said. “Had Aarati not applied her mind, Kartik’s life would have been in danger,” said their mother Asha after watching CCTV footage.

She should be held responsible for this heinous crime. She should undergo trial for this crime. No bail should be given for going against the wish of Gau Matha

Qualification for being a Bhakt is brainless action and 100% foolishness. They will treat cow as sacred life and girls as worthless thing

If gau mata wanted to kill or harm that boy then nobody should stop that. Will you stop or go against God's decision??? Should punish those people who stop gau maata's decision.

Is that girl an anti-national? She gave priority to the life of a child than to the desire of a gau maata!

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.
