Ullal: In an incident reported on Thursday, a cow suspected of being infected with rabies went on a rampage in Someshwara, injuring several people and causing damage to property. The cow entered residential areas, charged at pedestrians, and damaged a scooter, injuring a woman riding it. The event unfolded in areas under the Someshwara Town Municipality, leaving locals alarmed.
The cow, which belonged to a resident near the town's entrance, had been sent out for grazing in the evening when it unexpectedly began to create havoc. It made its way to the premises of the Mookambika Temple in Kolya, where it damaged parked scooters and injured several people.
In response to the commotion, local residents worked together to capture the cow. Someshwara Town Municipality Vice-President Ravishankar was informed and took charge of the situation. Ullal MLA U.T. Khader was also notified about the incident and the potential danger to people in the area.

A veterinary team, led by Dr. Gajendra Kumar from the Government Veterinary Sciences Hospital in Kotekar, was dispatched to the scene. The cow was administered an anesthetic, but it died a few hours later. Dr. Kumar suggested that the cow may have been suffering from rabies, which could explain its aggressive behavior.
