Udupi, Dec 14: A Hindutva leader and self-proclaimed ‘gau rakshak’ has been arrested by the police in connection with cow theft and illegal transportation cases in Udupi district.

The accused has been identified as Anil Prabhu (45), former Convener of Karkala unit of Bajrang Dal. He is a resident of Thellar, Karkala.

Even though he used to identify himself as a ‘gau rakshak’, he is suspected to be a part of a wider cattle theft network. According to police, he was reportedly offering refuge to cattle thieves.

Police picked up Prabhu based on the information revealed by Mohammed Yasin, who was arrested a few days ago on charge of beef transportation.

According to Yasin, he and many others used to pay protection money to Prabhu to cover up illegal cattle slaughtering and evade police investigation.

Prabhu is currently being questioned by the police over his links with cattle theft racket.

Karnataka CM directs officials to submit proposal for gold chariot for Chamundeshwari idol

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has instructed the Hindu Religious Endowment Department to submit a proposal for constructing a gold chariot for the presiding deity of the state, Chamundeshwari, official sources said on Monday.

The directive follows a request from Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Dinesh Gooligowda, who highlighted the historical and cultural significance of the Chamundeshwari Temple on Chamundi Hill in Mysuru, which dates back to the 12th century AD.

Gooligowda noted that the existing wooden chariot, donated by devotees from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, has deteriorated over time.

“Devotees have expressed their desire to organise a ‘rathotsava’ using a gold chariot for Goddess Chamundeshwari. This proposal has been under consideration for some time, with an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore,” the MLC said.

He emphasised that the government’s financial involvement would not be required, as devotees are willing to contribute towards making the chariot a reality.

Gooligowda proposed a deadline for the 2025 Dasara festival for the completion of the chariot, ensuring it is ready for the grand procession featuring the idol of Chamundeshwari.
