Puttur: Two people who questioned the cruel manner in which cattle were being transported were attacked by the transporters – allegedly illegal cattle smugglers.
The smugglers after brutally assaulting the two also damaged their pickup truck with stones and logs.
This act of criminal brazenness occurred on the night of Sunday, January 26. Rupesh and Narnappa were in their pickup truck coming from Uppinanagady. At Kanchana they saw another pickup truck from Kolpe carrying cows. Rupesh, who was driving, followed the cattle truck, waylaid it and questioned those inside about the inhumanely stuffed cows.
The cow smugglers, angered by the questioning, attacked both Roopesh and Narnappa and damaged their truck. They also tried to run their vehicle over both of them but escaped on seeing an approaching police vehicle.
Both were later admitted to a hospital at Puttur. A case has been registered at the Uppinanagady police station.
