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

Udupi, Jun 24: Nearly four years after he was arrested in the murder case of NRI entrepreneur Bhaskar Shetty, the District Sessions court has granted conditional interim bail to Niranjan Bhat, one of the three prime accused in the case.

The development comes two days after the death of Niranjan’s father Srinivas Bhat(65). Though Srinivas and his driver Raghavendra were also arrested in the case on the accusation of destruction of evidence, they were released within a month.

Through his lawyer Niranjan had appealed to the court seeking bail to perform his father’s post-death rituals. 

After hearing the arguments, the court granted conditional interim bail till July 7 on furnishing a bond of Rs 5 lakh. The judge directed the accused to report to the court on or before July 7 to be taken into judicial custody.

Bhaskar Shetty, who owned a chain of supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, went missing from his house in Udupi on 28 July 2016. His mother Gulabi Shetty lodged a missing person complaint on July 29. The police arrested his wife Rajeshwari, her son Navaneeth and astrologer Niranjan Bhat on the charge of murdering Bhaskar Shetty and destroying the evidence, in Udupi on August 7, 2016. Rajeshwari is already out on bail. Navneet is still in prison.

Shetty was murdered at his house in Indrali and later his body was taken to Belman. It is alleged Niranjan Bhat had put the body of deceased Bhaskar Shetty in the pit used for Homa rituals and burnt it.
