Mangaluru: Man who was assaulted while transporting cattle, says he is framed in cattle theft case
He added he had provided all documents, records of purchase

Mangaluru: The cattle transporter who was assaulted and later arrested on Friday held a press conference in the city and has demanded justice, saying he has complete records of purchasing the buffaloes that he was transporting when he was assaulted.
Mohammad Haneef of Jokatte on the outskirts of Mangaluru city was assaulted by a group of Sangh Parivar activists recently when he was bringing four buffaloes to the city for sale. The Urwa police intervened, arrested Haneef, and then took him for a health checkup.
Haneef, who addressed a press meet, said that the police asked him to sign a declaration on the day of arrest although he had given none. “A fake case of cattle theft has been registered against me although I have shown all the documents of purchase. I bought the 10 buffaloes in Ranebennur on June 13 and got a health certificate after they were checked by a veterinarian,” he complained.
“Six of the buffaloes were sold to a slaughterhouse on June 14. I got the remaining four to my house in Jokatte and was getting them to Mangaluru when I was attacked by at least 15 people. Three of them assaulted me with weapons, apparently with an intention of killing me, but I was saved due to the intervention of the Urwa police,” said Haneef, adding that he was stripped of the Rs 7,800 in his wallet and that his vehicle was heavily damaged.
“The CCTV camera recorded that I was attacked by 15 people, but cases have been registered against only six of them under not so stringent sections of the law books. The six people have also been released on bail. I have given a written complaint to the police on June 17 and request that action is taken considering my complaint,” Haneef said.
Former mayor K Ashraf, Haneef's brother Haider Jamaat, Jokatte Gram Panchayat vice president Shamsuddin was present at the press meet.
'Give guidelines on cattle sale'
A K Ashraf, a resident of Jokatte, who spoke at the press meet, said that the Police Department should issue clear guidelines on the sale of cattle. “A former deputy commissioner had also said that an app would be released for cattle sale and purchase. The police should take safety measures to prevent crashes and problems due to sentimentality regarding cattle sale and purchase. The app should be provided for the purpose,” he stressed.
“It is fake news that cattle sale cases have been registered against Haneef in the police stations of Brahmavar and Pandeshwar. The case in Uppinangady police station is not related to a cattle sale, but for excessive loading of cattle in a vehicle. Haneef was also released on bail in the case,” Ashraf clarified citing messages that were going viral on social media sites that several similar cases were registered against Haneef.

Shirtless protest at AI Summit: Police adds charges of rioting against arrested IYC members

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has added charges of rioting against the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) members arrested in connection with the shirtless protest during the AI Summit here last week, an official said on Tuesday.
Eight IYC members, including its president Uday Bhanu Chib, have been arrested so far. Police have added sections 191(1) (rioting) and 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot- if rioting be committed; if not committed) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in the case.
Addressing a press conference, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime and Police Management & Media Cell) Devesh Chandra Srivastva described the accused as 'aggressive elements' and said that a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event.
"On February 20, 2026, while the India AI Impact Summit was underway at Bharat Mandapam, a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event. The aggressive elements were immediately overpowered. During the process of restraining them, some police personnel deployed on duty sustained injuries," he said.
He added that during the course of investigation, many individuals were seen in CCTV footage from the event venue and surrounding areas.
"The involvement of several other persons has also been detected, who were allegedly assisting the aggressive elements in various ways in carrying out the act," the Special CP said.
He said to unearth the entire conspiracy, continuous coordination is being maintained with police authorities of other states and raids are being carried out.
"During investigation, Sections 191(1) and 192 of the BNS have also been added. Based on the investigation so far, it has emerged that the offence was committed as part of a deep-rooted conspiracy, and substantial evidence in this regard has been obtained," he said.
Considering the multi-state ramifications of the case, the underlying financial and logistical networks among the accused, and the need for a comprehensive probe, further investigation has been transferred to the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch, Srivastva added.
According to police, additional sections under the BNS, including 196 (promoting enmity between different groups and acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 197 (assertions prejudicial to national integration), have been invoked in the FIR. Both carry a jail term of up to three years.
Charges of criminal conspiracy, obstruction of a public servant in discharge of duty, disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant, unlawful assembly and common intention had already been added to the case.
On Friday, the group of IYC workers staged a dramatic protest inside Hall No. 5 of the summit venue by removing their shirts to reveal T-shirts printed with slogans against the government and the India-US interim trade deal, before being whisked away by security personnel.
Police said the accused had registered online and obtained QR codes to gain entry into the venue.
The incident triggered a political slugfest, with the BJP calling it a "shameful act to tarnish India's image on the global stage", and the IYC defending it as a "peaceful" demonstration aimed at safeguarding national interests.
