Mangaluru: Members and activists of Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishat and Hindu Jagran Vedike on Wednesday staged protest outside the office of Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner demanding immediate measures against the growing number of cattle theft, illegal cattle smuggling, slaughtering of cows while also demanding crackdown on the slaughterhouses in the District.

BHP’s Gau Ralsha wing’s chief Jagadish Shenava added blamed the police department of acting loose on the issue and failing to book cases against those involved in such crimes. “The police is not acting against them, but they are booking cases against those who try to stop such activities. This is a District dominated by Hindu majority and growing number of cases like these here is alarming” he added.

“We should not sell the aged cattle to slaughterhouses, if you have aged cattle contact Hindu organisations like ours, we will purchase the cattle and will keep them at Gau Shalas. We take care of cows like our parents at Gau Shalas” he stated.

Hindu Jagaran Vedike President Kishor Kumar and VHP District General Secretary Shivanand Mendon also addressed the protesters.

The protesters also lauded the efforts of Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Sandeep Patil for parading history sheeters involved in cattle related cases and warning them of initiating action against offenders.

Sangh Parivar leaders including Gopal Kuttar, Bhujang Kulal, Amit Gundalik, Vasudev Gowda, Pradeep Pumpwell, Guruprasad, Manohar Suvarna and others were present during the protest.

Thrissur (Kerala) (PTI): A man was arrested on Monday after a 14-year-old boy was killed when a car overturned during a stunt-driving incident at Chamakala Rajiv Road beach in Chentrappinni here, police said.

The arrested accused was identified as Shajeer alias Saddam (36), a native of Kurikkuzhi in Kaipamangalam.

According to police, the incident occurred around 6 pm on Sunday when the accused allegedly performed dangerous drifting manoeuvres with an open-top Gypsy vehicle at the beach, without following any safety norms.

The accused picked up three minors — Mohammed Sinan (14), Mohammed Shafeer (14) and Ameer (12) — who were playing at the beach, and made them sit at the rear of the vehicle before driving recklessly.

While performing the drifting stunt, the vehicle went out of control and overturned, trapping Sinan underneath.

He suffered severe head injuries and succumbed to the impact, police said.

Based on a complaint, Kaipamangalam police registered a case under Section 105 (culpable homicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

After completing the preliminary probe, police arrested Shajeer on Monday.

He was later produced before a court and remanded to judicial custody, police said.

The accused is involved in 11 criminal cases.
