Gurugram, April 10: Five cattle smugglers from Haryana’s Nuh district have been arrested in Gurugram after a 22-km chase by a group of cow vigilantes who later handed over the accused to the police.
In a video that surfaced, the smugglers could be seen in their truck with deflated tyres and throwing the animals in front of the cow vigilante’s vehicles to stop them from chasing.
The arrested persons have been identified as Yahya, Ballu, Tasleem, Khalid a.k.a. Bhainsa, and Sokin a.k.a. Sunda.
A few country-made pistols and live bullets were recovered from the cow smugglers, police said.
“These cow smugglers were caught after a chase of 22 km. We signalled them to stop but despite our warnings, they speed up their vehicle and even threw cattle on the road to block our way or divert our mind,” Mohit a.k.a. Monu, the complainant and a member of the cow vigilante group said on Sunday. (PTI)
