Coupled with efforts by police personnel and extensive campaigning against animal sacrifice during the ongoing Ooramma Jatre in Harihar of Davangere, a bull meant for sacrifice as part of rituals has been captured.
In the wake of a High Court order against animal sacrifice in the name of rituals, Deputy Superintendent of Police Basavaraj Naik had formed teams led by Police Inspector Satishkumar U. and Sub-Inspector Sunilkumar Teli to prevent animal sacrifice during the jatre. Following a tip-off, police personnel in plain clothes captured the bull meant for sacrifice on Monday night.
The captured bull is now kept on the premises of the Harihar Police Station as a temporary measure. It will soon be moved to a cow shelter.
