Hyderabad Police Set Rules for Cow-Protection Groups Ahead of Eid al-Adha

Police say the curbs aim to prevent vigilante attacks during festival-season cattle checks.

Overview

  • Hyderabad Police, which met Gau Rakshak (cow-protection) groups on Sunday, ordered them to report suspects to officers, avoid force, and carry no weapons.
  • The commissioner announced specialised check-posts at city borders to stop illegal cattle transport before Eid al-Adha.
  • Volunteers cannot stand with police at checkpoints, must wear ID cards, and each organisation must name a single representative and share member contacts.
  • Officials directed units to file criminal cases over reels or videos that could provoke communal tension.
  • Surveillance of cattle movement without valid veterinary papers will run year-round, with tips accepted 24/7 at 8712661000.
