Mangaluru, Jan 31: In a strange incident, the seller of cattle himself provided information to assailants causing the cattle transporters to be waylaid and assaulted near Sampaje village in Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district on Friday.

Resident of Arekallu in Sampaje village, Kattakodi Sudhakar is said to have sold three cows for Rs 3,000 to Mohammed Shareef and George from Badiyadka in Kasargod.

Following the sale, Sudhakar is reported to have falsely alleged that his cows had been stolen by the duo. Thereafter, around eight local miscreants allegedly belonging to Sangh Parivar are said to have waylaid the Maruti Omni that was used by Shareef and George to transport the cows and allegedly rendered them half-naked and brutally assaulted them. The incident took place under the limits of Madikeri police station.

Once the police arrived at the spot, they took members of both sides into custody, and booked Shareef and George under charges of illegal cattle trafficking.

Based on the complaint lodged by Shareef and George, the police also registered a case against Sudhakar and arrested him. A case has also been registered against the eight accused for having assaulted the transporters.
