Kanakpura cow vigilantes attack: Pictures of accused with top BJP leaders surface on social media
Puneeth Kerehalli can be seen with CT Ravi, Ashwath Narayan, BC Nagesh, Pramod Mutalik in pictures
Bengaluru: In what has come as a major development in the Sathaunur cow-vigilantes attack, images of the main accused Puneeth Kerehalli with top BJP leaders have surfaced on social media platforms triggering further debate in the local political circles.
Claims of Puneeth’s close association with prominent BJP leaders of the state are being made on social media even as the controversy around the late Friday night attack is being widely discussed and condemned on these platforms.
Puneeth’s pictures with BJP National Secretary CT Ravi, MP and BJP Yuva Morcha National President Tejasvi Surya, Yuva Brigade founder Chakravarty Sulibele, Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik, Karnataka Higher Education Minister Ashwath Narayan, Primary and Secondary Education Minister BC Nagesh have all surfaced on social media.
In other pictures, Puneeth is also seen with BJP Tamil Nadu Chief Annamalai and BJP MP Pratap Simha.
On Friday night, self-proclaimed Cow Vigilantes led by Puneeth Kerehalli intercepted vehicles on cattle trader Idrees Pasha near the Sathunur Police Station. Two associates of Idrees were injured after being allegedly beaten by the vigilantes while Idrees was found dead in mysterious condition on Saturday morning a few hundred meters away from the police station.
The family of Idrees has alleged that Puneeth and his thugs chased and assaulted Idrees even after the latter had shown purchase documents of the cattle. They alleged Idrees succumbed to the injuries later. Although the cops have pressed murder charges against Puneeth, the accused is on the run.
The post-mortem report of the Idrees is awaited.

Tension in Koppal village over Ambedkar flag during fair; five arrested
Koppal: Tension prevailed in Halwarti village of Koppal taluk after a clash reportedly broke out between members of Dalit and upper-caste communities over the hoisting of an Ambedkar flag during the Beeralingeshwara fair.
According to police, a verbal argument between youths from the two communities escalated into a physical confrontation, leading to unrest in the village.
In a related development, it has been alleged that members of the upper-caste community entered the house of a Dalit youth, identified as Gavisiddappa Hosamani, damaged the door and vandalised the front portion of the house.
As a precautionary measure, additional police personnel have been deployed in the village to maintain law and order.
Police said a complaint has been registered at the Koppal Rural Police Station and five persons have been arrested in connection with the incident. Further investigation is under way.
