30 bovines rescued in Nagpur, rural
Nagpur: In a series of coordinated operations across Nagpur city and rural areas, police units rescued 30 cattleheads being illegally transported or confined for slaughter under cruel and inhumane conditions.
Separate raids and checkpoints by Pachpaoli police, Nagpur rural's local crime branch, and Deolapar police led to two arrests, vehicle seizures, and rescue of the distressed animals.
In Pachpaoli, city police raided a shed in Azad Nagar, Teka, where 12 cattle were found crammed without food and water. The animals were allegedly being kept for slaughter. Acting on a tip-off, police arrested Mohsin Qureshi, 31, who confessed to the crime.
Assets worth Rs1.81 lakh, including the animals, were seized. A case was filed under Maharashtra Animal Protection Act and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Simultaneously, Nagpur rural's local crime branch intercepted a pickup truck during a blockade near Borgaon Shivar on Bhandara-Nagpur road. The vehicle, without a registration number plate, was carrying 12 bovines. The driver attempted to flee but was arrested near Brahmini village.
Authorities seized the truck and cattle worth Rs7.4 lakh and lodged charges under relevant laws.
In a third incident, Deolapar police, based on intelligence, stopped a four-wheeler near Manegaon Tek. Six cattle were found stuffed inside the car. The driver fled the scene, abandoning the vehicle. Police recovered assets worth Rs2.9 lakh, and the rescued animals were sent to Cow Science Research Centre, Deolapar.
The rescued cattle were relocated to govt-approved shelters for care and rehabilitation.
These back-to-back actions reflect an intensifying crackdown by law enforcement agencies to curb illegal cattle trade in and around Nagpur. Further investigations are on to uncover broader networks involved in the illegal transport and slaughter of animals.
