The car was moving by Kollamogru and Nadugallu route when the police intercepted the car near Shettiadka. A motorbike was also accompanying the vehicle by way of providing protective cover and giving hint about undue development. There were three persons inside the car and one person was riding the motorbike.

When the accused tried to flee with their vehicle, the police chased and apprehended them. Out of the accused, two succeeded in running away. Those who ran away from the spot were Ramakrishna from Madappady village, and Farooq from Kalara, Kadaba. The police have taken into custody the three cows and the car used to transport them.

The accused reportedly informed the police that the cows were being taken to a slaughterhouse located at Kalara.

The confiscated cows were tethered in the compound of Subramanya police station. On Monday, Subramanya Math provided fodder to the cows.
