Bantwal, Sep 19: A group of vigilante attackers owing allegiance to Sangh Parivar waylaid a cattle-laden vehicle in Bantwal taluk and brutally assaulted its driver until local police reached the spot and took him to custody.

Ivan D'Souza, who sustained severe injuries in the attack, has lodged a complaint at Bantwal Town Police Station against the assailants including local Hindutva activists Prashant, Thilakraj and Umesh.

The complainant said that the assailants threatened to kill him besides using abusive words against Christians and Muslims.

Acting on Mr D'Souza's complaint, the police managed to arrest three persons, who walked free by securing bail within a few hours.

The attack took place Thursday late night at Thumbia area of B Kasba village in Bantwal Taluk, when Ivan D'Souza and three others were transporting cattle. There were two cows and three calves in the vehicle.

When the vigilante attackers intercepted the pickup vehicle, three persons identified as Ashok, Basheer and Thasleem, managed to escape. However, Mr D'Souza was caught by the miscreants and assaulted.

Ironically, the police also arrested based on a complaint lodge by the vigilante attackers, who accused him of illegal cattle trafficking. Mr D'Souza maintained that he was transporting the cattle legally. He was released on bail after being produced before a local court on Friday. The police have seized the cattle and vehicle.
