Puneeth Kerehalli warns Siddaramaiah for giving compensation to family of Idrees Pasha; Video viral
Bengaluru: A video featuring Puneeth Kerehalli, who was recently granted bail after being accused of the murder of Idris Pasha in Kanakapura taluk, Ramanagara district, has gone viral on social media. In the video, Kerehalli issues a warning on behalf of the cow (gomatha) to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah regarding the compensation provided to Pasha's family, who was lynched by cow vigilantes.
Puneeth Kerehalli shared the video on his Facebook page, expressing his concerns. He questioned the basis on which the Congress government, led by Siddaramaiah, granted Rs 25 lakh as compensation to a man who was allegedly involved in transporting cattle for slaughter. Kerehalli also accused the government of suppressing the Hindu community, which constitutes a majority in the state, and insulting individuals like him who protect cows. He raised the question of whether the government is promoting illegal transportation of cattle and murder.
