Cow strays towards UP CM’s car; 2nd security scare this month
Gorakhpur, Dec 21: In a second security scare within a month, a cow strayed towards Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s car moments after he alighted from it, causing anxious moments to his security detail. The incident occurred on Friday evening when Adityanath arrived to inaugurate the Gorakhnath overbridge. After a video of it surfaced on Sunday, authorities ordered a probe and a municipal corporation supervisor was suspended. The video showed MP Ravi Kishan stepping out of the vehicle first. When the chief minister followed, a cow was seen approaching and came close to the car, prompting the alert security personnel to form a cordon. The personnel scurried to block the bovine and drive it away, preventing any harm. (PTI)
