Man and Daughter Waylaid in Karnataka for Alleged Beef Transport
A man named Abdul Sattar Mullarpatna and his 11-year-old daughter were riding a two-wheeler in Mangaluru, Karnataka, carrying beef.
Two men stopped them and accused the father of not having the right papers for the beef.
The daughter fell and got hurt, and the father was beaten up.
The police are now investigating the incident.
This happened in a place where there have been other similar attacks by people who try to stop others from doing things they disagree with, like transporting beef.
The state has a law that makes it illegal to slaughter certain cattle, and it also protects people who try to stop such activities.
Abdul Sattar Mullarpatna and his 11-year-old daughter were waylaid while carrying 19 kg of beef in Mangaluru.
Two men, Sumit Bhandari and Rajat Naik, allegedly blocked their path, causing the daughter to fall and get injured.
The father was assaulted and fled the scene, while the assailants were called in for police questioning.
The incident highlights ongoing issues of moral policing and vigilante actions in Karnataka's coastal districts.
Karnataka has a law that penalizes the slaughter of cattle under 13 years and protects those acting to save cattle from slaughter.
