On Friday, 5th of January, the Assam Police foiled a cow smuggling attempt and arrested two cow smugglers. The Police also recovered 6 cows. The smugglers are identified as Mafizuddin Haque and Mainul Haque.
Based on the secret information, in the morning, a police team from Jamugurihat Station seized a car from Chokihat village under Sonitpur district. Upon searching, the police found that they were transporting cows illegally. The police immediately arrested them and also recovered 6 cows from the vehicle.
As per the reports, the police officials confirmed that they arrested two persons and also seized a Bolero pick-up.
Notably, carrying and transportation of cows without proper permission is banned in Assam. But, as the state of Assam shares long border with Bangladesh, cow smugglers frequently attempt for smuggling. Smugglers mainly aim to smuggle the cows during night and take vehicles to villages near the international border. That’s why, the Assam Police frequently roll out operation to catch the cow smugglers.
