Mangaluru: Six people have been arrested for assaulting a cattle transporter who was taking buffaloes from Jokatte to Kudroli in the city on Sunday.
Preetham (29), Srinath Devadiga (21) and Ashith (24) from Katipalla and Bhavith Shetty (22) and Jayaprashanth (26) from Shakthinagara and Sachin (26) from Surathkal were arrested and released on bail, said Mohammad Sharief, inspector of the Urwa police station, where the case was registered.
Mohammad Haneef, 34, was transporting four buffaloes from his house in Jokatte to the city, when he was stopped on the way, tied to his vehicle and thrashed by Sangh Parivar members.
The police registered a case against Haneef and took him to the hospital for a health checkup and a Covid test. The transporter was also produced before the court and released on bail to prevent spread of coronavirus. He was instructed to appear before court on June 19, said the police.
Haneef has said that he had bought 10 buffaloes at the agricultural market in Ranebennur, Haveri district, on June 13. “I had also taken a certificate on the health of the cattle from the medical officer there. I had already transported six of them and returned to Jokatte at 4 am on Sunday with the remaining four buffaloes in my brother's vehicle. I was traveling to Mangaluru at 5 am, when I was attacked,” said Haneef.
“I have produced all the documents of purchase before the police, yet they have registered a case against me,” he complained.

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.
