“This is the most unfortunate event. I have spoken to the officials and three defendants have been arrested. Yesterday, police arrested two people, and today another defendant was arrested. We also warn police officers to deploy police wherever they are needed, considering that such incidents should not occur. ” Tangadagi said.
“It started with a small thing, and it turned into such a dangerous event. They probably hadn’t been there at the time because there were leopards in that place, and one person died. This is a place where few people roam. No such event happened,” he added.
