Cattle rustlers flee, leaving behind truck with 6 cattle near Gurugram

A team from Nuh police and self styled cow vigilantes allegedly rescued six injured cattle in the early hours of Saturday, from a truck that the police said was carrying the cattle to Nuh allegedly for slaughter. Mohit Yadav, also known as Monu Manesar, is a cow vigilante and Bajrang Dal functionary, who was recently arrested from Manesar in Haryana, ending an eight-month-long hunt for a man first sought for the murders of two men from Rajasthan in February, and then for allegedly making remarks that were among the triggers for the communal clashes in Nuh on July 31 Puneet Vashisht, a member of the group, said since Manesar went behind bars, their teams are active at night and are keeping a check on vehicles crossing the Gurugram borders. Police said instructions have been issued to cow vigilantes that they cannot chase, intercept or raid alleged cattle rustlers without a police team present. “We will conduct investigation if the cow vigilantes involved in the rescue operation members are of the district cow protection force,” said Vijay Partap Singh, deputy commissioner of police, crime.
