Mangaluru: Right-wing outfits protest against cow theft cases in Dakshina Kannada
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.

Judiciary cut through web of lies: Kavitha after court clears her name in Delhi excise policy case
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Jagruthi president K Kavitha on Friday expressed relief over being discharged in the Delhi excise policy case and said the judiciary has cut through the "web of lies" in the case.
Kavitha, daughter of BRS president and former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, said she has always maintained that the case was politically motivated, foisted on "opposition parties" as part of a political vendetta.
"Satyamev Jayate (truth alone triumphs). This (case) was a web of lies. Judiciary has cut right through it," she told reporters here.
A Delhi court on Friday discharged former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, Kavitha and 20 others in the politically charged liquor policy case, pulling up the CBI by saying it found no "overarching conspiracy or criminal intent" in the policy.
Kavitha said her family members, including her husband, in-laws, and parents, and Telangana Jagruthi workers stood by her during her difficult times, and thanked them for their support.
Her father, Chandrasekhar Rao, himself time and again, said that the case was a vendetta against him and BRS which was reflected on her, she said.
"Who will account for the time that I lost with my kids (due to her incarceration for five months)? Who will account for the time that I lost with my family," she asked.
Who will answer for her alleged harassment online and abuses in public meetings (by political leaders), she further asked.
Asked if she would like to share her happiness with her father KCR and brother and BRS Working President K T Rama Rao, she said she took her mother's blessings after coming to know about the court verdict.
"I took my mother's blessings after getting this result. This is not the time to talk about other things. I am thankful to all those who stood by me during this case," she said.
Arrested in March 2024, Kavitha walked out of Tihar jail in Delhi on August 29 the same year after the Supreme Court granted her bail in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy case.
Kavitha was suspended from the BRS in September, 2025 after she accused her cousins and party leaders T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar of "tarnishing" her father's image over the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project built during the BRS regime.
Since her suspension, she has been focusing on public issues under the banner of Telangana Jagruthi, a cultural organisation she heads.
She also announced in December last year that her political platform would contest the next assembly elections in the state.
