Mangaluru, October 22: A police officer attempting to intercept an illegal cattle transport truck near Ishwaramangala Bellichadavu in Puttur Taluk, Dakshina Kannada district, fired a gun in self-defense after the driver tried to flee. Staff from the Puttur Rural Police Station intercepted the Eicher truck, which was transporting 10 cattle from Hassan to Kerala. In the incident, one of the accused sustained a gunshot wound to his leg.
A team led by Puttur Rural Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) Jamburaj Mahajan attempted to stop the truck based on confidential information early Wednesday morning. The police team had laid a trap following a tip-off about cattle smuggling from Hassan to Kasaragod, Kerala. However, the driver disregarded the instruction to stop and attempted to flee, driving the truck directly toward the police jeep.
