Sullia: Bellare police successfully uncovered an illegal cattle transportation racket near Nettaru and arrested two individuals on Tuesday.
Based on a tip-off, police intercepted a pickup truck transporting five bulls without valid documentation. The vehicle was moving from Hassan through the Subrahmanya–Panja–Bellare–Nettaru route, headed toward Ishwaramangala.
The arrested have been identified as Mujameen and Abdullah, both residents of Delampady in Kasaragod. The cattle and the vehicle used for transport were seized during the operation.
The duo was presented before the Sullia court and sent to judicial custody. The crackdown was led by Bellare PSI Santosh.
