Udupi, Jan 6: Illegal cattle smuggling was foiled near Bijadi Junction in Kundapur, thanks to real-time CCTV monitoring.
Around 3 am on January 5, CCTV cameras managed by Sign-In Security at Ankadakatte, Kundapur, recorded suspicious activity. The footage showed individuals tying cattle along the roadside and attempting to load them into a vehicle. Alerted by the live feed, security personnel promptly informed the police.
