Nine Arrested After Hyderabad Mob Attacks Cattle Transporters and Police

Police warn against vigilantism after officers were injured in a stone-pelting attack.

Overview

  • Hyderabad police arrested nine people after early Tuesday attacks near Kothapet, and a city court sent them to judicial custody.
  • A group stopped a DCM truck carrying eight bulls for a film shoot at Purani Haveli and assaulted the transporters on suspicion of slaughter.
  • As officers moved the animals to a goshala in Fathullaguda, some riders followed and pelted stones near the Chaitanyapuri u-turn, injuring several personnel including an inspector and damaging the vehicle.
  • Police registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS and said they are working to identify and arrest the remaining suspects.
  • Authorities said seven round-the-clock check-posts have operated in the Malkajgiri limits since May 7 and urged people to share cattle transport concerns with police instead of intervening.
