Mangaluru, Jun 19: Mohammad Haneef Guddemane, a cattle trader, who was thrashed by the miscreants of Bajrang Dal while legally transporting cattle last weekend, today appeared before media and demanded appropriate action against the assailants.
The attack took place on June 14 at Urwa in the city when he was transporting four buffalos along with all necessary documents. The attack was also captured on a CCTV camp.
The victim, who addressed a press conference today, said that it was not the first time he is transporting cattle as into animal and husbandry for years.
“I had bought 10 she-buffaloes on June 13 from Ranennur and obtained certificate from the local government veterinary doctor after which the animals were brought to my village,” said Haneef, who is a resident of Jokatte on the outskirts of the city.
He said that he was transporting four out of the ten she buffaloes he had bought to the slaughterhouse at Mangaluru on June 14 when a gang of around 15 members which intercepted his vehicles near Urwa police station dragged him out of the vehicle, rained abusive words at him, made blasphemous remarks about his religion, and hit him with a helmet besides kicking him.
He said that three of the assailants were armed with sabre, iron rod and wooden sticks.
"They also tied me to the vehicle and assaulted. They also attacked me with their arms but I escaped. Their plan was to kill me. Fortunately, the police reached the spot and the assailants escaped. However, they thoroughly damaged my vehicle and robbed Rs 7,800 I had with me. I got treated at Highland Hospital in the city," he stated.
Expressing shock over the soft corner approach of the police towards the assailants, he said that only six of around 15 attackers were booked by the police.
“All the accused were let off by the police after registering petty cases. Ironically, the police had not recorded my statement. On the day of attack, they had asked me to sign on a paper. It contained the complaint written by themselves. Hence, on June 17 I visited the Urwa police station and recorded my statement,” he said.
He said that even though he has all the documents pertaining to the cattle that he had purchased, the police had registered false cattle theft charge against him.
Former city mayor K Ashraf, Hyder, bother of the victim and Shamsuddin, Jokatte gram panchayat vice president were present at the press meet.

Shame on you chinnappa. You uttered a typical Indian mentality of judging the woman when she suffers a rape
Looks like she moved out at her free will and faced such consequence. her fault
Need to change punishment system. We need something that arise fear to repeat. like chopping head publicly
so many grey areas are there.. such as hospitals, offices, schools, police station. need to have something emotionless creature.. robots or something else inorder to keep safe our sisters
What is the difference between RSS and ISS, R and I? R for Rowdy, I for Intelligence, so Rowdy and Criminal is equal so do not compare, Criminal is Criminal, Intelligence is Intelligence.
Woman is safe in India during Modi rule (if i say woman is unsafe under Modi rule, i will be called an anti-national)
A woman was gang raped and later she went missing. But people here are fighting with each other in the name of ISIS, RSS, ISI.. shame on you people.
wow ! naren kotian what a brilliant statement........... you should join FBI better hhhhhhhhaaaaaaa...
Dear Mr. NAren... How exactly you know that? You must be a member of RAW or ISI or ISIS or RSS I guess.
ISIS or its associate in India RSS must be behind raping this innocent girl. Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) head SIMON ELLIOT (fake name Abu Bakr Baghdadi), Jewish actor trained by MOSSAD in terrorism and the same MOSSAD has been associated in training RSS - terrorists.
ISIS hand cannot be ruled out. people belonging to one particular community do all criminal activities posing as different people. Here they dressed like police and committed crime.
