Head cut off, stomach ripped open and udders removed: Karnataka witnesses third horrific incident of cow mutilation

BJP MLA Dinakar Shetty remarked, "It is because of the casual attitude and cowardice of Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara that such incidents are happening ."

In Karnataka, attacks on cattle are steadily rising. In a new incident, a cow was killed after her udders were removed. A temple calf’s tail was also chopped.

The pregnant cow’s stomach was torn in order to extract the calf from its womb and the flesh was then removed from its body. This occurrence transpired in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district on 19th January.

The crime was committed by cow smugglers at Salkod village in Honnavar taluk, where a man named Krishna Acharya’s cow had left the hamlet to graze on grass.

However, the accused sliced off the cow’s head before tearing open its abdomen and also severed its legs, in a desolated area. They took the calf out of its stomach.

The bones and legs were left in place while the flesh was separated from the body and taken away by the cow smugglers. The cowherd saw the mutilated body when he arrived at the location after which he reported to other locals and the authorities.

According to Krishna Acharya, he has been raising this cow for ten years and views it as a part of his family. Hindu organizations have protested following the instance.

Cow smuggling has reportedly been expanding in this region for a while, according to locals. An FIR (First Information Report) has been filed in the case by the police.

Dinakar Shetty, Kumta-Honnavar MLA, arrived at the scene and charged that the Siddaramaiah government was neglecting the cows. “It is because of the casual attitude and cowardice of Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara that such incidents are happening,” he charged.

The state administration sympathizes with those who attack cows, according to state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president BY Vijayendra.

Leader of Opposition in the state assembly R Ashoka has accused the Congress government of doing politics of appeasement.

He stated, “Taking advantage of the weakness of the Congress government which is succumbing to appeasement and anarchy, fundamentalist forces are challenging Hindus by attacking cows.”

The lawmaker further added, “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, if we look at these repeated attacks on cows, it seems that there is a big network behind this. It seems that this is a big jihadi conspiracy of radical forces. If the government does not take this seriously and does not curb these atrocities, then there will be a big movement in the entire state.”

Police filed a charge under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act against unidentified individuals and are trying to find out if the cow was murdered for meat or to cause trouble in the region.

Notably, this is the third brutal attack on cows in Karnataka within 10 days. Earlier, the udders of three cows were cut off in Bengaluru’s Chamarajpet and they were seriously injured.

An extremist named Syed Nasru, a migrant worker from Bihar was caught in this assault. The police claimed that he was intoxicated and mentally instability. However, the assertions have been contested by locals. The tail of a temple bull was sliced off in Nanjangud of Mysore, in the second incident.
