Mangaluru, Aug 13: Acting on information provided by activists of a Hindu organization about cattle being illegally transported to a slaughterhouse, Ullal police raided a slaughterhouse at Chembugudde, Ullal on Wednesday August 12. They seized two carcasses of cattle and 11 live animals from the spot. Three accused persons succeeded in running away during the raid.
This is the third such raid to be conducted by the police during the last seven months. Brothers, M C Bava and M C Khader, who operate the slaughterhouse at Chembugudde, and Imtiaz, resident of Millathnagar in Ullal, fled from the spot, sensing the raid.
Activists of Kuthar unit of Bajrang Dal, who got information that cattle were being taken to Chembugudde slaughterhouse from the city in a pick-up van, passed on this information to Ullal police. The policemen conducted the raid, but could not stop the accused from running away in time. They took over custody of two dead and 11 live cattle, all of which had been huddled in one pick-up truck.
During every raid on this slaughterhouse during the past some months, the accused have succeeded in giving the policemen a slip. In the past too, the policemen had confiscated cattle and several quintals of beef from this spot.
