Two persons, including a police officer, were injured in two separate bull races (Chittoor version of ‘Jallikattu’) on Andhra-Karnataka border on Sunday.
Deputy SP (Kolar Gold Fields) Muralidharan was inspecting the bull race at Thanimadugu village of Bangarpet taluq of Kolar district, a few km away from the Kuppam border, when a rope tied to a raging bull got entwined with the police officer’s legs, leading to abrasions. He was rushed to PES Medical College Hospital at Kuppam. After treatment, he was discharged.
In another incident, a person from neighbouring Vaniyambadi of Tamil Nadu was injured in the bull race at Karlagattu village of Shantipuram mandal in the district.
