Taking from Gaushala is bit risky. We can see street cows (not in mangaluru - udupi, kerala).. have to steal those cows and should nurture for one month and can seel. It gives more profit
Even in karnataka, cow getting more importance than other issues or it proves BD can influence more in police dpt also
Wow.. police wont act in similar speed for rape or other issues
I think Police has arrested two innocents on the pressure from BD and other Sangh parivar parties. It shows that Police is working as Agent of these sangh parivar goonda parties. However, in case they did catch the people, i am sure that cows were sold to them by BD goondas as they need money to drink and eat beef sukka. |This might be a planned work of these goondas as they do always. First sell cows, get money and then inform Police + other BD goondas. Police should investigate and catch real culprits behind the issue and should not arrest any one just to make sangh parivar happy.
