We are ready to lay down our lives for the sake of cows and for the sake of Hindutva. I am a Hindu first and an MLA later” Harish told reporters.
“If the police cannot take appropriate actions against them then we are ready to handle the issue. We know how to deal with these cow thieves. We know how to reply them with their own swords which they use for stealing the cows” he further added.

Bengaluru (PTI): A domestic worker has been arrested for allegedly stealing 12.5 kg of silver articles worth around Rs 35 lakh from the house of her employer here, police said on Friday.
Chaitra has been arrested by the Jeevan Bima Nagar Police Station.

“The family had stored about 12.5 kg of silver utensils on the upper floor, which were meant to be used only during festivals."
