Live Cow and Dead Calf Found in Vehicle in Muzaffarnagar; Two Men Detained Amid Suspected Cow Slaughter Concerns

Muzaffarnagar: Tension surfaced near Bamanheri Bridge in Muzaffarnagar on Sunday after a vehicle was found carrying a live cow and a dead calf. Shiv Sena workers stopped the vehicle and caught the two men travelling in it, raising suspicions of possible cow slaughter. They subsequently approached the police and demanded legal action.

Cow protection volunteer Nishu also reached the spot after receiving information about the incident.

How Was the Vehicle Intercepted?

According to the information available, Shiv Sena workers stopped a vehicle bearing registration number UP 12 BT 3565 near Bamanheri Bridge at around 11 am on Sunday. During a search, they reportedly found a live cow and a dead calf inside.

The workers then detained the two occupants and questioned the circumstances under which the animals were being transported. Their discovery prompted members of Hindu organisations to raise concerns and allege possible links to cow slaughter.

The two men were identified as residents of Kidwai Nagar in the Khalapar area. Shiv Sena team member Ankur Tyagi, accompanied by Satyam Pradhan and Vikas Thakur, submitted a written complaint to the police, seeking strict legal action against them.

The vehicle and the detained men were taken to the Roorkee Road police outpost. Meanwhile, cow protection volunteer Nishu arranged for the last rites of the deceased calf.

Police Investigation Underway

A written complaint has been submitted at the Roorkee Road police outpost, and police are investigating the matter. The circumstances surrounding the transportation of the cow and the dead calf, as well as the allegations raised by the complainants, are yet to be established.
