Udupi, Aug 18: In a shocking incident, a group of miscreants belonging to Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal beat up a youth to death for involving in illegal cow transportation near Hebri village in Karkala taluk of Udupi district last night.
The miscreants came to know that the ill-fated cow trafficker was also an activist of Bhartiya Janata Party only after the attack.
The BJP activist Praveen Poojary (29), a resident of Kenjur and cattle trader by profession, breathed his last in a hospital, hours after the attack. His aide Akshay Devadiga (22), who was also injured in the attack, is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
The incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. when Praveen Poojary was loading three cows into a Tata Ace for transportation at Kadike in Santhekatte near Hebri village. Akshay Devadiga was also present.
On receiving the information, nearly 30 VHP and Bajrang Dal activists surrounded the vehicle and attacked Poojary with lethal weapons. Devadiga, who came to his recue, was also assaulted brutally by the miscreants.
The assailants left the spot only after Poojary revealed that he was a BJP worker and had campaigned for the saffron party during last Lok Sabha elections. Though Poojary and Devadiga were rushed to a hospital by local residents, the former breathed his last without responding to any treatment.
Udupi SP KP Balakrishna confirmed to Coastaldigest.com that 18 persons have been arrested for their involvement in the attack. It is learnt that he attack was led by Arvind Sherigar, a VHP member, who runs a petrol bunk.
The Udupi district unit of BJP, which always encouraged the violent acts so of called gau rakshaks, is now in a dilemma as they have killed their own man.
The incident comes days after the Union Home Ministry had cracked the whip on cow vigilantism, asking all states not to tolerate anyone taking law into their hands in the name of protecting cow and to take prompt action against such offenders.
The Home Ministry advisory had come two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked cow vigilantes and asked people to beware of these 'fake' protectors trying to divide the society and the country.
He made these comments after his government and BJP came under attack over incidents of violence against Dalits and Muslims by cow vigilantes in various states including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

Welcoming the move Dr Arathi Krishna told coastaldigst.com that Indians stranded in any foreign country can utilize this facility. "Initially, I was approached by Mr Zakaria and Mr Sheik who wanted chartered flights to help their employees fly back to India. I asked them to write to the Indian Ambassador in Saudi Araia Mr Ausaf Sayeed. Then I requested the ambassador to forward the request to Joint Secretary Dr Nagendra Prasad, who is in charge of gulf division in the Ministry of External Affairs, and then to Secretary on charge of Gulf and then I requested Secretary of Economic Relations Mr T S Tirumurti who was also in charge of Gulf to follow this up," she said.

Gau rakshak becames manau bhakshak
Now it's time to counter attack the fake protectors of gau
Basically these VHP and bajrangi dal morons want cows to walk by themselves to their new owners house. If you take them by truck then they will kill you.
I'm done trying to talk sense about this new brand of religious gundagardi.
hell with this feku gau rakshaks
if this holy animal & holy meat is creating too much of uneasiness in our country please shift to a different place/country, where there are no gau bakshaks....only rakshaks
let them celebrate. they killed a human being & saved the cow
now let them compensate the family of diseased with the cows. he may be the bread earner for his family. due their own goondaism policy killed own guy.
Hindus are spread all around the world. You name a country, they are there. But, do they dare to talk about GauMatha in any country other than India? All their dramas are limited to Indian boundaries. Bahar Dum Nahin nikaltha Hain.
Dear Viren,
Now only God can save your 17 GOW BHAKSHAKS... Shame on you for supporting these terrorists. Family of Praveen poojary will never get their lost Son. Either show your sympathy or get the hell out of here.
Readers are not interested to read your F**king comments.
Hope ABVP will come to street and protest against Killers..!
Viren, you are an worthless, inhuman creature of this entire world....in European countries millions of tons of meat being eaten everyday basis...thousands of butchers serving over there...because of it is their fundamental right to eat what they like...nobody is coming in between it....If you got a guts go and shout and stop them from eating cow meat...they will f**k you...I am sure....
Ha ha Viren.....the guy looked like a Muslim in his bead style...... as stupid they are...they killed him...ha ha....
Don't comment and mock at yourself dear....
This proves that Bajrang Dal, VHP members or other gau rakshaks are not anti-Muslims. they are just protecting the cows. But attacking these helpless pawns not enough. Attack the real anti-national butchers and eliminate them.
Kotian brothers being gow-rakhshak, became gow- bakshak.
Enjoying beef....!
Now Congress/JDS/PFI/SDPI/CPI(M) should stage a massive protest to prove that BJP does not care its own worker's murder if the killer is a Bajrangi
Will BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa give a call for a statewide bandh demanding ban on VHP and BD in protest of killing of his party worker?
Chaddi dirty mindset never change
If they wear pant or nighty!
Unnecessary loss of life.
Remove the Beef ban then there will be no gau rakshaks and there will be no danger to anybody.Is there no justice in this country. Quick action should be taken against the guilty.
Let people eat what they want.
Why blame the State government when this policy being implemented by Centre.
i request govt to give order to police Shoot on Sight for all activists for defame our nation by doing such a things. please this is the best solution for everything. we dont want any self called protector. we all brothers and sisters want to live in peace.

now our police make a case against the dead man leaving their 2nd team members of rss.
OH my God......his face appearance cheated the BJP goons..... Sorry Naren, wrong number ....
bajrangdal what are u doing. where are u taking us. killing is easy task for bajrangis now a days.
Bajrangdal and VHP whatever you are doing now is totally wrong. its down grading your mother land. please understand and work to bring good out of india.
because of 1% of hindus we all 99% of hindus are suffering.,
Does Go Maata require human protection if cow is God? Does GO Maata appointed only Sanghis from human to protect her? Does Go Maata require human sacrifices? Does she require human blood only from particular community like Muslims, Dalits, Billawas, Lower caste etc ..??
this is really shocking., i request all hindu brothers to stop the brutality. do something for the nation. this wont lift india to reach the development high.
they cut their own hand, its a lesson for all cow protector.
Modi congratulates RIO medalist Sakshi Mallik along with Udupi's RIOT sanghis who killed cow transporter...!
RIP Martyr Praveen Poojary .... Quick recovery for Akshaya Devadiga.... BJP is tasting its own medicines .....what goes around, will come around.... Let all these arrested 17 persons and other back the scene people are lodged in Andamans for 10 years, then our coastal districts will have peace for EVER.....
have this bajrangdal activists lost their mind? killing people for cow its not justified, if your cow matha has so much power then let her punish the slaughters.
Shocking. really dont understand whether to celebrate or mourn. RIP..
Shun Hindutva, shun hatred or get ready for more violence in future.
Government should ban these two ugly terrorists groups immediately....they are the main reason for creating unrest and unpleasant condition around South Canara.....
Good that Muslims stop eating beef which is unhealthy....
I knew this will definitely happen one day. Bajrangi terrorists have also been imparted arms training... If same situation continues.. wait and watch what will happen in future.
Boda seera. All culprits should be hanged in public.
Hindus who R pro cheddi should start thinking and stop relying on the information fed by the RSS...
RSS teaching is from Zionist and they have phd in deception through out the world... They will not care if u work hard for them or not.. in the end YOU will suffer...
When U have no knowledge of YOUR RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES , U guys are fooled to believe what YOU are doing now...
WAKE UP guys and study your scriptures and compare it with other religion also ... All the EVIL you are doing is turning on YOU itself. Its not late... THINK individually and start understanding the cheddi ideology which is dumping your own brothers into HELL.
