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.

New Zealand wins the 3rd ODI against Pakistan by 43 runs and sweeps the series
Mount Maunganui (New Zealand), Apr 5 (AP): Pakistan ended a disappointing tour of New Zealand on another somber note Saturday, losing the third one-day international by 43 runs.
While Pakistan made a bold effort to chase down New Zealand's total of 264-8, it fell short again and was dismissed for 221 in a match reduced by a wet outfield to 42 overs per side.
New Zealand fast bowler Ben Sears took 5-34, his second five-wicket total in consecutive matches.
Pakistan made a strong start to its chase despite a shocking injury to opener Imam-ul-Haq, who retired hurt in the third over after being struck in the head by a throw at the stumps.
Imam was attempting a quick single when a throw to the non-striker's end lodged in the grill of his helmet. He was clearly dazed and struggled to stand steadily before being helped from the field.
Babar Azam rallied Pakistan after the incident with a half century which, with support from Abdullah Safique (33) and Mohammad Rizwan (37), helped Pakistan to 95-1 at the midpoint of its innings.
With 10 overs remaining, Pakistan was 167-4 and well in the match: New Zealand was 165-4 at the same stage. But New Zealand took 99 runs from the last 10 overs of its innings and Pakistan couldn't match that finish.
Tayyab Tahir made 33 from 31 balls but when he holed out in the 39th over with Pakistan 218-9 the chase was all but over.
Pakistan arrived in New Zealand with a new-look squad, eager to shrug off a disappointing performance at the recent Champions Trophy which it hosted and hoping to build towards next year's T20 World Cup.
But the tourists lost the five-match T20 series 4-1 and lost the first two matches of the three-match ODI series by 73 runs and 84 runs before Saturday's defeat. The Pakistan batters mostly struggled on fast and bouncy New Zealand pitches.
“Obviously it was a disappointing series for us,” Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said. "But if you look at the positives, Babar Azam is in very good touch. Looking at the bowling Sufiyan Muqeem was the guy.
“You have to give credit to New Zealand in all departments. They played very well for the last couple of months. They played well in Pakistan against us and they are true professionals.”
Earlier, opener Rhys Mariu and Michael Bracewell made half centuries and Daryl Mitchell passed 2,000 runs in ODIs as New Zealand batted first after losing the toss.
Mariu posted his maiden half century in his second ODI and went on to make 58 from 61 balls. Mitchell came into the match with 1,998 runs in one-day internationals with finished with 2,041 runs from 52 matches in which he averages 49.7.
Captain Bracewell finished strongly, making 59 from 40 balls.
