First case under anti-cow slaughter Act registered in Karnataka


Bengaluru, Jan 23 (IANS): Karnataka's first case under the newly amended anti-Cow slaughter Act has been registered in Kudgi village in Vijayapura district, Animal Husbandry minister Prabhu Chauhan said on Friday.

Kudgi is a small village located adjacent to Solapur to Chitradurga Highway (NH13) In Vijayapura, about 500 kms from state capital Bengaluru.

According to a press statement released by Chauhan, the Basavan Bagewadi police has arrested Sikandarsab Rajesab Bepari, 35, resident of Kudgi village. Bepari was arrested when he was allegedly chopping meat of an Ox/Bull in a makeshift tin shed situated near a railway line in the village.

"I am elated over our government giving me an opportunity to protect our cows and cattle. He was arrested after the public tipped off the local police, as in-time intervention of people and police was able to save one ox/bull that was tied to a pole nearby. Perhaps he was to slaughter it after he completed his chopping of another Ox that was slaughtered already," the minister's statement said.

He also appealed to people that they should work to protect cow and cattle that are on the verge of extinction. "People should not take the law into their hands, let the police do its job. People need to inform police if they see any cow, ox, bull, buffalo or calves being slaughtered or smuggled," he explained.

The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Ordinance, 2020 came into force from January 18 after Governor Vajubahi Rudabhai Vala's approval.

The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act, 2020, which envisages a ban on all forms of cattle slaughter and stringent punishment for offenders, is a revised version of a Bill that was passed in 2010 when the BJP was in power.

Subsequently, in 2013, Congress came to power and the BJP's 2010 contentious Bill was shelved. The Congress had reverted to the less stringent Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation of Animals Act, 1964, which allows cow slaughter with certain restrictions.

    In Central and in our state the policy is quite different and there are no ethics for it.
    Central Govt. is exporting Beef worth crores of rupees to other countries and whereas here anti-cow slaughter act is enacted. What a double standard act in India

    Brazil is projected to be the largest beef exporter in the world in 2020 followed by India, Australia and the United States. Four (4) countries are projected to export more than 1 million metric tons of beef in 2020: Brazil, India, Australia & the United States.

    Gaushala is built to increase beef export and become number 1 by beating Brazil. We don’t see other reason.

    These guys are out to make our country a cow shed. Their cow politics is definitely not out of love for go matha but is filled with hatered and malice towards a particular community and is nothing but politically motivated.

    Wow. What an achievement! Our government deserves huge round of applause.

    There is absolutely no development in the country. Unemployment, poverty, rape, murder, theft are raising in the country and our government is proud that they are preventing cow slaughter.

    Moshu bhai !! Citizens n expatriates, duly n promptly follow every rule n regulations, in every Islamic state.... Many may dislike and possibly hate those laws, yet will duly comply fearing Imprisonment n deportation !!! Likewise every citizen from India, is expected to honour every law, layed down across our motherland.... Those who are not happy, have the privilege to pack their baggages and migrate to a land of their choice !!!!!

    what a crazy govt we have in center and state?

    There are so many economical and poverty issues. These stupid, brainless saffron guys are just doing nonsense things and passing time.

    This moron Chavan had come to Udupi on official trip to just see the goshala of Udupi Math. So much money of tax payers is wasted without any reason.

    But still the blind bhakts say Modi. Modi. Modi
