Mangaluru, Aug 22: Cow vigilantes of coastal Karnataka, who apparently vow allegiance to Sangh Parivar, are receiving funds from some builders and NRIs, according to an Aam Aadmi Party leader.

cowvigilante“These gau rakshaks getting money from some prominent NRIs and builders for their activities,” Rohan M Siri, Dakshina Kannada district secretary in-charge of AAP.

The comment comes days after BJP worker Praveen Poojary was hacked to death by a group of Hindutva activists for allegedly involving in illegal cow transportation in Udupi district.

Mr Rohan also slammed Karnataka's ruling Congress for failing to curb cow vigilantism, immoral policing and communal clashes in coastal belt even three years after coming to power.

Even though there is no authorized cattle protection force in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts, activists of Hindutva groups like Vishva Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal, Hindu Jagarana Vedike and Sri Ram Sena often turn cow vigilantes and attack those who transport cows. Sometimes habitual offenders resort to cow vigilantism for the sake of money.
