Hapur
(Uttar Pradesh): Uttar Pradesh's western region is
turning into a hub for illegal cow slaughtering hub - purchased
from distraught farmers in Rajasthan - with the active connivance
of low-ranking police officials, a police official said Sunday.
The crime figures of Panchsheel Nagar district suggest that cows
and calves are being transported to the district from Rajsthan and
sent to the Moradabad and Sambhal areas, said district police
chief Ahok Kumar Raghav.
After taking over charge as the senior superintendent of police,
Panchsheel Nagar, Raghav said he cracked down on the illegal
slaughter and identified the points where it was being conducted
as Kakor of Gautam Budh Nagar and Dhaulana of Panchsheel Nagar
from where cows had been rescued.
"After the arrest of 55 criminals, so far, from Feb 15 till March
30, 301 live cows and calves had been rescued from their
(slaughterer's) clutches. 24 criminal cases have been registered
during this one and a month period and seven pistols, 11 knives
and two swords have been recovered," he said.
During interrogation, the arrested men confessed that they got the
cattle from poor farmers from Rajasthan and transported the cattle
to Moradabad and Sambhal, adding the racket was flourishing due to
collision with the lower and middle-ranking police officers, added
Raghav.
The criminals further confessed that although the licensed
slaughtering units are operating their business in and around
National Capital Region (NCR) but there is high demand for cow
meat in Arab countries. They said although they did not have
export licenses but were still exporting the meat.
"We are verifying the criminals' confession and chalking out plans
to finish the crime from its very source," said Raghav.
