Two days after the udders of three cows were severed in Chamarajpet, Karnataka BJP leaders performed a pooja for the safety of cows across the state. They also alleged that the police 'framed' an innocent person in the cow attack case in Chamarajapet. They also demanded a fair investigation into the incident.
Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra expressed his dismay, stating, "The tragic incident that took place the day before yesterday here in Chamarajpet, Hindus across the country have expressed shock. This kind of tragedy has never happened in Karnataka before. The tragedy has sent shockwaves across the country. We visited the poor family and yesterday we donated a cow also."
BY Vijayendra said that the most unfortunate part was the appeasement politics of the ruling party in Karnataka and demanded justice for the victim.

Karnataka assembly LoP R Ashoka said, "Today we performed puja and prayed to god for the safety of cows in Karnataka...We don't have any confidence in the state government. The government wants the votes of minorities...The owner of the cow Karna says that he wants justice...We support the demands of Mr Karna who is fighting against the government and demanding justice..."
The incident came to light on Sunday when a passerby noticed the injured cows and alerted their caretakers. The animals were rushed to a veterinary hospital for treatment, and a case was filed under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Act.
Sheikh Nasru (30), a native of Champaran in Bihar, was also arrested on Sunday.
