Dalit man tied to rope, cow; paraded half-undressed over conflict in Mandya; case registered
Mandya: In an incident reported from Mandya district, a Dalit man was recently paraded with his hands tied with a rope to one end and the other end of the rope to a cow over a conflict. The victim has lodged a complaint in this regard against four people accusing them of assault and insulting him.
The victim Suresh Vardhan HS of Hanakola has named Raju of Dugganahalli, Girish and Rezar Mallaiah of Malvalli town, and Sundaramma of Hanakola in his complaint. The cops have reportedly booked the four under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The accused however are absconding ever since the incident went viral through a video of social media platforms.
According to the reports, the main accused Raju sold cows to Raju for Rs. 58,000 claiming that they will produce 15 liters of milk each. When Suresh bought the cows, he realized one of the cows could not produce any milk while the other produced three liters milk.
When Suresh brought the issue to the notice of Raju, the latter called him to Dugganahalli promising to give him another cow.
According to the police, when Suresh reached Raju’s house he was not at home. One of Raju’s friends asked Suresh to take one of Raju’s cows and go. When he untied one of the cows, Raju appeared and accused him of stealing. He allegedly assaulted and badmouthed him. Raju used the rope used to tie the cow to tie Suresh’s hands and paraded him half-undressed in front of his friends.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
