Widowed farmer woman harassed by Sri Rama Sene activists alleging illegal cattle transport
Kalaburagi police seizes 33 cattle of woman for allegedly transporting them without permit
Kalaburgi: Facing difficulties after the demise of her husband, a farmer woman was reportedly taking her 33 cows to her daughter’s place when Sri Rama Sene activists stopped her on the way and later handed her over to the police on Sunday.
The farmer woman belonging to the Koli community, identified as Kaantamma Durgappa Hattikuni is the woman who was troubled by the Sri Rama Sene activists. Kaantamma’s husband, a resident of Yaragola village on the border of Yadagiri and Kalaburgi, had recently passed away. As a grieving widow, Kaantamma had later decided to relocate to her daughter Savitribai’s residence at Shahabad Nagar. Accordingly, Kaantamma was taking her 33 cows on her way to her daughter’s house at Shahabad Nagar through the national highway-150. Midway, when she reached Ram Chowk by the outskirts of the Wadi town, Sri Rama Sene’s president Vinod, Secretary Vishwa Talavar, and activist Karan Rathod stopped her, it is learned.
The men have been accused of creating a ruckus and confronting the lone farmer woman with claims that she was taking the cattle to the slaughterhouse. Although Kaantamma revealed the reality of her situation, the Sri Rama Sene activists did not let her go and informed the police that she was illegally transporting cattle to the slaughterhouse.
The police who arrived at the location took possession of her 33 cattle including 17 cows, 8 calves, 4 bulls, and 4 heifers, and took them to the station.
“I have not brought my cattle to sell it to the butchers, I brought them to leave them at my daughter’s place. How can I sell my domesticated animals to the butcher Saheb? Please leave me”, a distraught Kaantamma cried and put forth her request before the police.
However, the police who registered a case concerning transporting cattle without a permit took possession of Kaantamma’s cattle and sent them to the Konchuru Punyakoti cattle shelter, it is learned.
