Asif Qurshi, Raqib, Aman Khan and Waseem Pathan were arrested in the second case lodged after a cow carcass was found in Bulandshahar’s Jahangirabad area on Wednesday, the IG said.
Timely intervention by the police in Wednesday’s case prevented the situation at Jahangirabad, 29 kilometres southwest of Mahaw, getting out of hand, police officials said.
According to reports, some passersby informed the police that a cow carcass had been found on Jahagirabad-Daulatpur road near a brick-kiln field and local police rushed to the spot. Additional police force from other police stations were also called to the spot as activists of the Bajrang Dal and other Hindu outfits gathered there after coming to know about the recovery of the carcass.
The police managed to pacify the activists by immediately registering an FIR in the matter, additional director general (ADG) of police, law and order, Anand Kumar said. The carcass was buried in a field nearby.
