Rajouri, Sept 8: Angry mob torched a truck at Narian village on Jammu-Poonch highway under the jurisdiction of Rajouri police station after spotting bovine animals in the truck that met with an accident.
About 21 cows and calves reportedly were hidden behind the cement bags when he driver lost control on the vehicle while negotiating a sharp curve near Narian and skidded off road.
"The truck skidded off the road and fell in the drain in the wee hours and after apprehending trouble the bovine smugglers along with the driver fled from the spot leaving behind the truck bearing registration No. JK2AP-5315" said a local resident. He added when the people of the area noticed the accident they in an attempt to offer help to the driver started his search but found nobody there. When the people found the animals hidden behind the cement bags, the news of bovine smuggling spread like a jungle fire in the area. Inhabitants of the area rushed to the spot and rescued the cows and calves and later they set ablaze the truck in a fit of rage against the police department and the smugglers.
It was the second incident when the vehicle carrying bovines met with an accident near Narian village and people came to know about the bovine smuggling attempt. In the past they had also torched a Tempo Traveler vehicle carrying the bovines. "People led by Sat Pal Sharma district president VHP and Karan Thakur, Bajrang Dal district general secretary also blocked the Jammu-Poonch highway raising slogans against the Rajouri police and demanding action against the smugglers and the driver. Shabir Ahmed Bhat, DC and Rajeshwar Singh, SSP also rushed to the spot and after giving patient hearing assured action against policemen posted at the police Nakas in Rajouri district and against the bovine smugglers. People alleged despite several attempts of bovine smuggling foiled by the people, many police personnel are involved in this network in nexus with bovine smugglers and action must be taken against them also. They asked the SSP how the smugglers/ truck crossed the police nakas in Rajouri district while bringing the bovines from Jammu and was heading towards Kashmir valley via Mughal road. Police have lodged two FIRs in this case one against the bovine smugglers and another against the unidentified people who took law in hand and set ablaze the truck.
"Action under law will be initiated against those who were involved in carrying the bovine animals in this truck and against those who had set ablaze the truck" said SSP.
He added after investigation will also be initiated against the policemen who were deputed on night duty on the Naka under the jurisdiction of Rajouri district. |
