The Newspapers Association of Karnataka has felicitated Puneeth Kerehalli, a murder accused and a cow vigilante, during a Kannada Rajyotsava event held on Thursday, November 27. According to the association’s social media pages, the annual event is intended to award people who have made significant contributions in various sectors in Karnataka. The felicitation comes despite Puneeth Kerehalli being recently placed under preventive arrest after refusing to give an undertaking that he would abstain from communal, criminal or anti-social activities.
