Madikeri, Sep 12: On the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, a group of cow vigilantes belonging to saffron outfits, shot at a a pickup vehicle transporting cattle, and brutally assaulted two persons at Kaggodlu near Madikeri in Kodagu district.

fireThe victims are vehicle driver Abdul Salam (40) and P A Basheer (35), residents of Kondangeri in Madikeri taluk. Salam has suffered serious head injuries and has been shifted to Mangaluru for treatment.

Suspecting that the vehicle was transporting two cows, the miscreants tried stop the pick-up vehicle on Sunday. When the driver refused to stop the vehicle, one of the miscreants shot at the vehicle and ordered the driver and others to alight from the vehicle. After the latter alighted, they were beaten black and blue, while the glass of the vehicle was damaged.

The assailants claimed that the victims were transporting cows stolen from the house of Ganapathi at Kaggodlu. SDPI workers and relatives of the assault victims, however, rubbished the accusation that the cattle were stolen.

“Basheer is a farmer and had purchased the cattle from Ganapathi for ploughing. The telephonic conversation between Ganapathi and Basheer can be verified. The cattle were being transported, when the youth assaulted Basheer and the driver and also attacked the vehicle," they insisted.

On the complaint of attempt to murder by shooting, the police have registered a case against Kumar, Madhu Mohan of Kaggodlu, Raja, Vittal of Hakkathoor, Jithesh from Mekeri, and Balakrishna from Biligiri. Meanwhile, Ganapathi, who is also a saffron activist, has filed a theft case against Basheer and Salam accusing them of stealing his cattle.

Expecting justice from impotent government is no use.

BJP one end shows that they are protecting cows, in other end exports beef to foreign countries for more profit.

If they think cow is their God. I think muslims should respect and should refrain from slaughtering cow. One day they will realise that what they have done. In every friday prayer. Imam should announce not to slaughter cow. If it hurts their sentiments.

We also know that its a political game to divide the people. Cow they are using as a bakra.

No 1. Exporter of beef is india. After modi comes to power. India beat brazil. Before brazil was no 1 exporter of beef. Al kabir we all know he is hindu. Who is a big exporter.

If these kind of fight continue. Then india will divide into 4 countries again.

One for hindus second for muslims third for cristains fourth for dalits.
One part for h

Karwar, Aug 6: In a shocking incident, a 40-day-old girl child was murdered by her own parents in Sirsi town in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district.

The accused are Priyanka (21) and her husband Chandrashekhar Bhat (42), residents of Ramanakoppa in Sahasrahalli in Yellapur.

According to police, the couple did not want a girl child and hence threw it into a well. The couple was arrested by the police the very next day.

The incident came to light after the child’s maternal uncle, Abhishek Jagadeesh Singh Choudhari, a resident of Rajeev Nagar in Sirsi, lodge a complaint with Yellapur police station. 

He had claimed that his sister Priyanka’s baby had been kidnapped and subsequently killed. 

Priyanka had claimed that she woke up around 2.30am on August 2 to find that her baby, Tanushri, was not in her cradle. Her husband’s family subsequently started searching for the baby, which they found dead inside a well. 

Choudhari suspected that Tanushri had been kidnapped, and had been killed by her abductors to erase any evidence of their crime.

Uttara Kannada superintendent of police Shivaprakash Devaraju constituted a team to crack the crime, and the cops, who subjected the parents to an interrogation, found that they were the culprits.
