RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

BHABHUA-----------------------Acting on a tip-off regarding the illegal smuggling of a large number of cattle in a container from Pusauli, the Kudra police launched a vehicle inspection drive in the area. During the operation, a container bearing registration number 21CT-6776 was intercepted and searched. Upon inspection, 35 buffaloes were found crammed inside the container. The police immediately seized the vehicle and took the buffaloes into safe custody. During the operation, the police arrested the driver, Nizamuddin (22), son of Kayamuddin, a resident of Sarkada Khas (Munda Pandey Police Station, Moradabad district, Uttar Pradesh). However, two of his accomplices managed to escape by taking advantage of the darkness and the crowd. The police have initiated interrogation of the driver to uncover the entire cattle smuggling network and identify others involved.

An FIR has been registered under relevant sections, and further legal proceedings are underway. Continuous raids are being conducted to apprehend the two absconding accused. The Kudra police state that the district-wide campaign against cattle smuggling will continue, and no one involved in this illicit trade will be spared. Acting on a tip-off, a container truck loaded with 35 buffaloes was seized. One driver has been arrested, while two other accused remain at large; raids are underway to apprehend them. The entire smuggling network is being traced as part of the investigation, and this action by the Kudra police is being hailed as a major success against cattle smuggling. The police are now attempting to track down the entire gang based on the interrogation of the arrested driver. The arrest of the absconding suspects is likely to lead to further significant revelations regarding this illegal network.
