Udupi, June 4: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje urged the police department not to arrest the Sangh Parivar workers unnecessarily in cattle trader Hussainabba death case.
After meeting SP Lakshman Nimbargi at the latter’s office here on Monday evening, Shobha expressed her displeasure over arresting the Bajrang Dal workers in related to the case. Illegal transportation of cattle in Perduru and Hiriyadka regions was increasing. Such incidents happened as this illegal activity was not controlled. So, the police department should take steps to control it, she added.
Bajrang Dal workers have informed the police about illegal transportation of cattle. The police should have taken precautionary measures at that time. Instead of doing their duty, they have summoned Bajrang Dal leader Suresh Mendon to complete their work, and later made him the accused. Police should not threaten the workers in this case. It was decided to protest in Udupi on Wednesday against the arrest of the Bajrang Dal workers, she said.
MLA K Raghupathi Bhat, Lalji R Mendon, BM Sukumar Shetty, BJP Mangaluru incharge K Uday Kumar Shetty, district president Mattar Rathnakar Hegde, former president Thingale Vikramarjuna Hegde and others were present.
