Mangalore, Aug 5: The district units of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal held a protest in front of the deputy commissioner's office here on Monday, demanding immediate withdrawal of compensation to Kabeer family.

Lashing their ire against the state government, the protestors demanded that the government withdraw the compensation of Rs 10 lakhs handed to the family of Kabeer, who was killed in an encounter by ANF personnel at Sringeri few months ago.

Addressing the protestors, Dinesh Pai Kateel said that the Karnataka government was supporting illegal cattle traffickers by giving compensation to the slain Kabeer.

From the time the Siddaramaiah-led government has come to power, it has time and again hurt the sentiments of the Hindu society. Unless the government and the local politicians withdraw the compensation amount, the entire Hindu society will stand up in protest of this injustice, he warned.

He said that handing the compensation to the slain Kabeer was a violation of the law and Constitutional rights.

District president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad Jagadish Shenava also said that the government had erred by handing over the compensation to Kabeer's family. The government has also rendered the police department incapable of taking action against illegal cattle traffickers, he lashed.

Pradeep Pumpwell, Manohar Prasad and others participated in the protest.
