A group of alleged cow smugglers opened fire at police in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district after they were intercepted with a truck carrying cows. The incident took place in Kaithwara area in Bharatpur, at the time the smugglers were on their way to Haryana.
The police, acting on the information, barricaded the area. But when they tried to stop the truck carrying cows which was coming from Bandikui, the men inside the truck fired several rounds at them. The police too fired in retaliation and nabbed one of the accused while remaining two managed to flee from the spot. Irshad, the accused who has been nabbed, belongs to Mewat area in Haryana.
“We had received information that a truck carrying cows was on its way. We barricaded the area. We threw nails in front of the truck,” mentioned Ram Naresh, Station incharge, Kaithwara police station.
Bharatpur police has arrested 25 alleged cow smugglers and registered 24 cases of cow smuggling in the last three months itself.
Incidentally, after the Uttar Pradesh government banned the illegal slaughter houses in the state, most of the cow smuggling in the region has been directed towards Haryana.
