Hyderabad: Chaos erupted at pillar number 311 close to Aramghar crossroads in Hyderabad on Tuesday evening, February 24, after a truck carrying cows collided with a car, resulting in a clash between the driver of the truck and hundreds of locals who suspected that the cows were being transported to a slaughterhouse.
The police patrol vehicle, which was rushed to the spot to prevent any escalation of the clash, dispersed the crowd and cleared the traffic, which had come to a halt because of the commotion.
The patrolling constable told Siasat.com that around 400 people immediately gathered when they realised that cows were inside the truck. In a video of the incident circulating online, some of the people were shouting “Jai Shri Tam” slogans.
The patrolling constable said the locals beat up the truck driver, and that the police was almost done dispersing the crowd.
This is a developing story. More details are awaited.
