Cong smells political conspiracy behind cow theft at gaushala ahead of polls

Mangaluru, Apr 10: Even as a the protest by the members of Amruthadhara Gaushala at Kairangala on the outskirts of the city over the alleged cow theft took a political turn, the Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee has suspected that theft may have been staged by some political forces ahead of May 12 Karnataka assembly polls.

On Monday, a delegation from the Congress submitted a memorandum to T R Suresh, commissioner of police, seeking speedy investigation into the case. The members also sought thorough analysis of the CCTV cameras installed at the gaushala and demanded that the watchman of the facility be subjected to Narco analysis test.

Addressing the media, A C Vinayaraj, president, Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee Legal and Human Rights Department, said as the hunger strike began within 48 hours of the theft and continued even after the arrest of the two accused, it gives rise to suspicion that the move has been backed by the BJP for political gains as the polls are fast approaching.

While maintaining Gaushala owner Rajaram Bhat has the right to stage a protest and the Congress had no qualms with it, Vinayaraj questioned the grounds on which he provided the platform to RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel to deliver communally provocative and politically motivated speeches.

Vinayaraj also questioned why the watchman, who allegedly fought the gang of thieves, did not call anyone for help, did not click their pictures or why he was not helping the police bringing out their sketches.

Stressing that Rajaram Bhat had been saying the two accused caught by the police were not the culprits, Vinayaraj wondered how the people from the gaushala could be so sure about their claim. “How does Rajaram Bhat know the arrested aren’t the culprits? Moreover, why didn’t the watchman help the police in bringing out rough sketches of the culprits,” he questioned, adding all angles of the case give enough scope for suspicion that the theft is politically motivated.

Meanwhile, Rajaram Bhat ended his indefinite fast on Monday, the ninth day. The end came after the police personally informed Bhat and others involved in the protest demonstration that two accused have been arrested and that the police also know about the whereabouts of the main accused.

Yadgir, July 2: A fresh video of the health staff dragging the body of a Covid-19 victim and dumping it into a pit disgracefully has gone viral on social media.

The incident occurred in Yadgir district of Karnataka on Tuesday, just days after shocking visuals of bodies of Covid-19 victims being handled disrespectfully in Ballari district went viral.

In the fresh video, two persons with PPE suits can be seen dragging, hurling and dumping the dead body of a senior citizen who died of covid-19. The duo dragged the body using a wooden log inserted to both hands of a plastic body bag for nearly 300 meters.

After pulling till the pit, the body was heartlessly dumped including a wooden log. Several villagers were also seen in the video.

The victim was settled in Siravara in Raichur district, although he originally hailed from Yadgir. On Sunday he was busy overseeing his daughter' wedding that was first postponed due to lockdown.

According to a relative of the deceased, on Monday he complained of breathing problems following which an ambulance was called to carry him to Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).

Raichur Deputy Commissioner (DC), R Venkatesh said he was brought dead to the hospital as he succumbed en-route. The family members were quarantined and the body was packed as per the protocols and sent to Yadgir as his family members informed that the victim is from the neighbouring district. "In Yadgir district he was swabbed and his test results came positive," DC informed.

As soon as residents of Honagera village learned about the arrival of the body, the family members were harassed asking them to not to bury the body in any of the fields in the village.

Sridevi, a relative of the deceased said "the locals assembled near our house and threatened consequences if the body was brought here. Fearing backlash, we asked the district authorities to perform the last rites in the farmland owned by the victim. But it is now saddening to see the video where the body was inhumanely dragged and dumped."

Meanwhile Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Wednesday (July 1, 2020) said that six staff members have been suspended in connection with the inhumane funeral of a man who died of COVID-19 in Balari district.

Shivamogga, Jun 20: Shivamogga District unit of Congress led by party veteran Kagodu Thimmappa staged a protest against state government's proposal to amend the land reform act, which will allow non-agriculturist to buy farmland.

The leaders of Farmers' Union (Raith Sangh) also staged a protest at Mahaveer circle and questioned CM's stand as he took oath in the name of farmers.

The district congress staged a protest at the premise of the Deputy Commissioner office in Shivamogga city.

The protesters termed Karnataka Government led by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa as an anti-farmers government.

According to Congress and Raith Sang, the proposed amendments to Karnataka State Land reforms act 1961 will cause harm to farmers.

"According to the proposed amendment, non-agriculturists like business tycoons can also purchase the agriculture land. This will help the businessman and will be harmful to farmers," protesters said.
