Shimla: A pregnant cow’s jaw was blown off allegedly by an explosive while it was grazing at a field in the Jhanduta area of Bilaspur district in Himachal Pradesh. The accused believed to be behind the incident has been arrested.

The incident caused grievous injuries to the pregnant cow in mouth. It was reported in Jhanduta, Bilaspur town on May 26.

The cruelty to the cow came into focus when a similar incident was reported in Kerala this week where a pregnant wild elephant chomped on a pineapple filled with powerful crackers offered by a man. It exploded in her mouth and she died later.

After the killing of elephant, videos and images of the blown-off face of the cow went viral and people were demanding action against the accused.

In the video, the cow’s owner Gurdial Singh sought help from authorities, demanding strict action against the perpetrator.

Singh has accused his neighbour, Nand Lal, for “intentionally” injuring the cow. He also said that Nand Lal has run away after the incident.

Meanehile, the Himachal Pradesh Police on Saturday arrested Nand Lal for causing injuries to the cow by feeding her a wheat flour ball laced with firecrackers.

Confirming the arrest, Superintendent of Police Divakar Sharma said the firecracker exploded when the cow chewed the wheat flour ball.
