South Karnataka DC receives death threat for asking to hand over cow smugglers to the Police

Police inquiry initiated

Since Karnataka Police failed to take stern action against the cow smugglers, they could now dare to threaten to kill the District Officer. When will the Government, Administration, and Police realise that mere law does not hold back the cow slaughter; it calls for rigorous implementation and stiff penalty to the perpetrators ?

Mangalore (Karnataka) – South Karnataka District Officer Sindhu B. Rupesh who appealed to hand over the cow smugglers to the Police received a death threat on social media.

In a meeting at the District Office, Sindhu B. Rupesh said that – The citizens should hand over the cow smugglers to the Police on apprehension. The public should not overstep the law. Strict legal action will be taken against cow transporters and assaulters.
After the news of the District Officer’s appeal was published, a threat in Tulu language saying ‘District Officer must be killed’ was posted on Whatsapp.’ The post became viral immediately.
