Udupi: BJP worker killed, friend injured by cow vigilantes for transporting calves

Cow Vigilantes Kill Man In Karnataka, 18 Arrested

Prashant Pooojary was traveling with a friend when they were attacked by members of a right-wing group.

The accused are members of the Hindu Jagrana Vedike

Eighteen members of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike were arrested on Wednesday by the Udupi district police on charges of murdering a BJP worker who was transporting three calves.
 
The deceased identified as Praveen Poojary, a tempo driver, was on hire and was transporting the calves along with his friend Akshay Devadiga.
 
"Around 9 pm, a group of 17 men led by Srikanth, an HJV member, waylaid the tempo in Kegige, in Hebri police station limits, and attacked the two with rods. Both were seriously injured and the attackers took them to Kenjur in Brahmavar, which happens to be Praveen’s native place too," said Udupi SP KT Balakrishna. The attackers took Praveen and Akshay to Kenjur village because the attackers wanted to show the villagers that the duo were transporting cattle, he said.

“The Brahmavar police was immediately informed and they arrested six people, including Srikanth. The weapons used were also seized. The other 12 were arrested later in the night."
 
Praveen died while he and Akshay were being taken to Kenjur. The Udupi police have registered a case of murder.
 
Balakrishna said that he had met Praveen’s father and his sister, who told him that Praveen often gave his tempo out on hire.
 
"On Wednesday he had left home at 8:30pm. He told his sister that he would be back soon. However, he did not tell them where he was going and what he was transporting," he said.
 
He added that Akshay’s condition is critical and the police are investigating into who had hired Praveen and where he was transporting the calves.
 
BJP leader and former Udupi MLA Raghupathy Bhat condemned the brutal attack on Praveen Poojary and said that the attackers should severely be punished.
 
"Praveen was a diligent BJP worker for more than eight years. He was working as a driver and could be hired by anyone. I don’t think he was told that he had to transport cattle. Even if he was wrong the attackers should have informed the police and not brutally beaten them up. If the attackers call themselves members of Hindu Jagarana Vedike, they don’t deserve to be with affiliated with it," he said.

While minister Pramod Madhwaraj visited Praveen’s family in Kokkarne.

BJP has created this Franaklinstine. Now they have to face the consequences.

Modi’s call to reign them is too little too late.

Cows have four legs to walk. People get killed by giving a ride to a cow! Strange indeed.

The hooligans in the guise of cow protectors are nothing but an anti socials and criminals. They should be booted out of country. The police should arrest all the criminals involving in this ghastly murder and put behind the bars for their whole life.
