As the crowd began to swell amid cries of Jai Shri Ram slogans, police arrived on the spot and tried to diffuse the situation. The cow vigilantes allegedly attacked the cattle transporters. They are receiving treatment at the Osmania General Hospital.

Following the intervention of AIMIM MLC Mirza Rahmath Baig and a few corporators, the police later shifted the cattle to a government shelter.

However, Goshamahal ACP S Sudharshan has denied that any such incident took place. “No such incident took place here,” he told Siasat.com
