On Friday morning (March 28), the city police intercepted a vehicle near the Suralpady Mosque in Bajpe, Mangaluru, and rescued 20 cow heads, which were reportedly tied to the roof in an inhumane manner.
When Bajrang dal chased the vehicle activists claim the defendant fired at them, police said there was no obvious evidence to prove the shooting was fired at the scene. Among the 20 cow heads, two people were found dead.
Police chief Anupam Agrawal said in a statement that police intercepted the vehicle, its driver and two other vehicles transporting cattle, abandoned the quad and fled the scene. The way cattle are raised shows that they are being slaughtered by illegal transportation. The defendant has deleted the original figure of the vehicle.
