Mangaluru, Jul 27: A fresh case of Bajrang Dal’s involvement in the illegal and inhumane transportation of gau maata has surfaced in Karnataka’s coastal district Dakshina Kannada, wherein the saffron outfit is forming ‘Gau Raksha Dal’ to “protect cows”.

Bajrang Dal activist Shashi Kumar Bhat (48), son of Krishna Bhat, a resident of Vittla Padnoor village in Bantwal taluk has been arrested in connection with the illegal cattle transportation along with his aide Abdul Haris (21), son of Mohammed, a resident of Kolnad village in same taluk.

The duo was transporting four cows and a calf in a cruel way when their light commercial was intercepted by a team of police from Vittla police station at Kadambu Junction in Vittla Padnoor village around 11 p.m. last night (July 26). 

The cops seized all five animals and the Ashok Leyland DOST which was being used for illegal transpiration. 

Shashi Kumar Bhat is locally known for his involvement in the activities of Bajrang Dal. He had reportedly taken part in an attack on cattle transporters in the past. Abdul Haris was one of the suspects in a cow theft case reported from Alike village recently. He is also facing a case in Konaje police station.

According to sources, the cows were being transported to a slaughter house. It is learnt that the illegal activity came to light due the internal differences among local Bajrang Dal activists. A bête-noir of Shashi Kumar within Bajrang Dal gave the information of illegal transpiration to the police, sources said. 

Police Sub Inspector H E Nagaraj, constables Abhijit, Lokesh, Ramesh, Rakshit and Raghuram were part of the operation.

Looks like the real cow traffickers are Bajarang dal activist and their followers. They are using Musilm young men as aide so, if they are caught blame it on the Muslim men as the cow trafficers and with the hepl of police the real Hindu cow traffickers escape.

These saffrons are doing all illegal things. They do protest for cow safety and do eat beef in night. If they caught red handed, argue that they ate onions. Eg: K surendran

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
