Karkala: Farmer transporting cattle for farming stopped by Bajrang Dal activists
Karkala: A group of Bajrang Dal workers stopped a farmer who was carrying cattle for farming and handed him over to police here on Thursday night.
Shivu, a farmer from Bannalli village in Madduru taluk of Mandya district, had come to Mala in Karkala taluk to buy cattle for agriculture operations on Thursday afternoon.
He bought seven cattle from Nagaraj Poojary by paying Rs. 50,000. When he was returning to his native with the cows by a tempo, a group of 25-30 Bajrang Dal workers stopped him and called Karakala rural police.
The police rushed to the spot and seized the cattle, and took Shivu and tempo driver Prem Kumar to the police station. They later verified the documents related to cattle purchase and let Shivu go along with the cattle.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
