Madhya Pradesh Police Cracks Down on Cow Slaughter Ring in Seoni

Madhya Pradesh police announced a Rs 10,000 reward each for seven Nagpur residents allegedly involved in slaughtering 62 cows and bulls in Seoni. The act aimed to incite communal tensions. Five arrests were made, and strict action is promised. The accused violated several animal and penal laws.

In a significant law enforcement action, the Madhya Pradesh police announced a reward of Rs 10,000 each for seven Nagpur residents suspected of slaughtering 62 cows and bulls in Seoni district. The incident took place on June 17 and appears to target communal harmony, according to authorities.

The Seoni district, which borders Maharashtra where cow slaughter is prohibited by law, became the epicenter of this case when carcasses were discovered in a river and a forested area. This led to the arrest of five individuals and the subsequent transfer of the Seoni collector and superintendent of police.

Inspector General of Police Anil Singh Kushwaha stated that the slaughtering was likely aimed at inciting communal discord. He added that the motive would be confirmed once the remaining seven accused are apprehended. The main suspect, Wahid Khan, allegedly received a Rs 30,000 advance from Israr Ansari to gather the animals.
