Cow fed ‘explosive-mixed’ food, seriously injured – Madhya Pradesh

Bajrang Dal threatens agitation

Since the miscreants who indulge in such cruel and inhuman activities are not given stringent punishment, other criminals dare to repeat these acts. Will the Government take severe action against the concerned at least now ?

Umaria (MP) – A cattle owner Om Prakash Agrawal in Ginjri village in Umaria District on 17th June lodged a complaint with the local Police alleging that his cow was fed ‘explosive-mixed’ food by the unidentified miscreant, leading to grievous wounds in her lower jaw and mouth.

In his complaint, Om Prakash Agrawal said he used to release his cow in an open ground in the vicinity of the village to graze. The domestic animal used to return to her shed in the evening. On 14th June, the bovine did not return home. After a two-day-long search, he found the cow lying in a pool of blood in a deserted area near the village. She had suffered injuries in her jaw and mouth. The cow was unable to eat and also feed her one-month-old calf.

The incident sparked outrage among the people in the locality. “We have received the information that a cow was injured in the area. Police rushed to the spot for investigation. A veterinary doctor was also sent to provide treatment to the injured bovine”, Umaria District Superintendent of Police Sachin Sharma told reporters. A case has been under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in connection with the incident, police said.

Bajrang Dal activists demanded the immediate arrest of the accused. If the Police failed to do that, they resort to agitation and will take up the search for the accused, said Upendra Singh, the leader of Bajrang Dal. Such incidents had also occurred in Kerala and Himachal Pradesh earlier.
