Tumkur, November 13: In the guise of Prani Daya Sangha members, a group of saffron activists attacked a few Muslims who reportedly bought cows from farmers for the purpose of sacrifice during Eid-ul-Adha on Friday evening at Huliyurdurga of Kunigal taluk.

According to a media report, Nataraj, a Bajarang Dal activist, Prasanna, VHP activist and Shankara Linge Gowda have attacked Muslims and brutally assaulted them. They took the cows to police station, filed complaint against its owners and later took them to Madhugiri Goshale.

In the wake of Eid-ul-Adha, as many as 12 Muslim families of Huliyurdurga neighbourhood had bought cows and tied them in their houses. When Hindutva activists came to know about this, they stormed the houses, local people said.

Following this incident, people of Huliyurdurga including both Hindus and Muslims staged a protest in front of the Police Station condemning the attack.

They accused the police of supporting illegal activities of Hindutva activists who stormed into houses and assaulted the innocent people.


One of the protesters, belonging to Hindu community said they have been living harmoniously with Muslim brothers from a long time. Some miscreants who do not tolerate the peace in the area have tried to create trouble, he said. He also urged the police to withdraw the cases filed against Muslims.

Tension prevailed in the area following the incident. Tumkur SP Dr PS Harsha, Additional SP Shivashankar rushed to the spot and tried to convince the protesters. Police also assured the protesters of taking strict action against the saffron activists.

Though the situation is under control, district reserved police teams have been deployed in the area.
