A 22-year-old spectator was gored to death by a marauding bull during the traditional ‘Kobbari Hori’ (a bull-taming event) at Betkerur in Hirekerur taluk of the district on Friday.
The incident occurred when Shanmukh Huded, a native of Guddadahosalli in Ranebennur taluk, was watching the event on the sidelines.
He bled to death en route to hospital.
Three years back, in a similar event at Devihosuru in Haveri taluk, a man was killed and six others injured after a bull went berserk.
