Hassan, Jun 13: In a bizarre incident reported from the district police tied the cattle up as punishment for grazing in the campus of the police station.
Circle inspector Yogesh instructed the police personnel to tie the cattle for devouring the plants. They belonged to an elderly woman who was residing nearby. The elderly woman was wailing in front of the police station to release her cattle as they are the source of her livelihood.
The elderly woman said that the cows give her 10 litres of milk every day and that help her makes ends meet. She said that the cows might have eaten the plants by mistake and asked the policemen to release the same.
The policemen, however, were not paying any heed to the repeated requests and appeal of the elderly woman. Then, TV media personnel, who got the information, arrived at the police station and started filming the cows as well as the wailing elderly woman. Then the policemen quickly untied the cows and asked the elderly woman to take them home. But they warned her not to leave them inside the police station compound to graze.
