Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh villagers clash over buffalo ownership; demand DNA test
Ballari: In a bizarre incident, a dispute over the ownership of a buffalo bull between residents of Bommanahal village in Ballari district and Metahal village in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh has escalated to the Moka police station in Ballari.
Villagers from Bommanahal and Metahal have demanded that a DNA test be conducted to determine the bull’s parentage, as reported by the New Indian Express on Wednesday.
The five-year-old buffalo bull, initially from Bommanahal, was recently set loose by the villagers after they decided to sacrifice it during their upcoming village fair in January. However, the bull went missing and was later found in Metahal, located 20 kilometers away.
When a group from Bommanahal attempted to take the bull from Metahal, an altercation broke out, and several of them were injured. The bull is currently tied up in Metahal, with villagers there refusing to accept Bommanahal’s claim of ownership, despite the latter asserting that the bull’s mother is in their village.
The dispute has led both villages to demand a DNA test to establish the bull’s parentage. Speaking to The New Indian Express, Hanumantha R. from Bommanahal explained that their village celebrates the Goddess Sakammadevi fair, during which a buffalo bull is sacrificed once in five years. He noted that the buffalo identified for the ritual is now being held by villagers in Metahal, where a similar fair is held every three years.
Hanumantha expressed hope that the issue would be resolved amicably between villagers of Bommanahal and Metahal soon.
