Haveri: Three men lost their lives in separate incidents involving bulls during bull-taming contests and procession events held across Haveri district on Wednesday, coinciding with the Deepavali ‘Hatti Habba’ festivities.
The deceased were identified as Chandrashekhar Kodihalli (70), a retired HESCOM employee from Daneshwarinagar, Ghanisab Bankapur (75) from Devihosur village, and Bharath Hingameri (24) from Tilavalli village in Hanagal taluk, according to a report in Deccan Herald.
In the first incident, Chandrashekhar was walking along Old PB Road in Haveri town when a bull from the nearby ‘Kobbari Hori Habba’ bull-taming event near Veerabhadreshwar Temple broke loose and gored him fatally. He was rushed to Haveri District Hospital, where he was declared dead. The case falls under the Haveri Town Police Station limits.
In Devihosur village, within Haveri Rural Police Station limits, Ghanisab Bankapur was sitting on a platform near a house when a bull from a procession reportedly panicked and attacked him, piercing his neck and chest with its horns. He was taken to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries on the way.
In another incident, a bull-taming contest in Tilavalli village under Adur Police Station limits turned tragic when Bharath Hingameri, a spectator, was gored in the chest. The impact caused him to fall and sustain head injuries. He was taken to the district hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Superintendent of Police Yashodha Vantagodi confirmed that while two deaths occurred during bull-taming events, one was linked to a bull procession. She further said the Tilavalli event was held without official permission, and police have launched an investigation into the matter.
