A dairy owner sold his cow to a butcher after the cow stopped yielding milk. The butcher along with others allegedly slaughtered the cow within the dairy premises. As the blood flowed past the gate bystanders took notice and then a few cow protection vigilantis started to come within the premises and thrashed the men for slaughtering the cow. The police have arrested any of the men who attacked but rather just the men who allegedly slaughtered the cow, along with the dairy owner.
