Kozhikode: Eight Youth Congress leaders, who publicly slaughtered a bullock calf in Kannur a few days ago, were arrested on Thursday. They included YC Kannur Parliament constituency president Rijil Makkutty, state general secretary Joshi Kandathil and Azhikode YC block president Sharafuddin Katambally. They were later released on bail.
The leaders were protesting against the central government’s notification banning the sale of cattle for slaughter in the markets. The Kannur police had registered a case under the Kerala police Act 120 (a) following the complaint of Yuva Morcha leader C.C. Ratheesh. The YC leaders were suspended after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi criticised their act.
