Cattle Traffickers Damage Shiroor Swamiji’s Car
Udupi: Unidentified miscreants damaged the car of Sri Lakshmivara Theertha Swamiji of Shiroor Math during the wee hours on Thursday, February 8. Sri Lakshmivara Thirtha Swami escaped unhurt when a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) collided with his car.
According to a complaint lodged by Prasad with the Hiriyadka police station, Lakshmivara Theertha Swamiji was travelling in his car from Shiroor village to Hiriyadka, when an SUV, without a number plate, coming from Harikhandige, hit the right side of the car near the entrance of the “Moola Shiroor Math” and sped away without stopping at around 12:30 am.
The complainant suspected that the SUV was being used for cattle trafficking. A case has been registered and the investigation is on, the police said.
Criminal elements in one particular community are creating a havoc in our region. Drug smuggling, international gold smuggling, illegal cattle trafficking and murders – this community is spinning out of control. Unfortunately, coastal region doesn’t have a single true journalist to question or investigate this ticking time bomb. The pseudo-secular groups have been turning a blind eye for many many years This is not going to end well. I feel fear and sadness for good, innocent civilians living in our region.
