In a shocking incident, chopped parts of a cow, including horns and bones, were found near a park adjacent to the Delhi ENT Hospital at Institutional Area, Jasola. The remains were stuffed in a gunny bag and dumped in a park within a residential society predominantly inhabited by Hindu residents, sparking anger and concern among the local community.
Early in the morning, passersby noticed the suspicious bag emitting a foul odour. Upon inspection, they were horrified to discover the chopped remains of a cow inside, including its horns and bones.
This gruesome discovery has sparked outrage among the residents, who see the act as a blatant disregard for their religious sentiments, as cow is revered as Gau Mata by Hindus and they worship her. “This is not just about hurting animals; it’s about attacking the beliefs of an entire community,” said a local resident.
The recovery of 2-3 cows slaughtered in the empty plot, further intensified fears of illegal activities taking place under the cover of darkness.
In response, community members have called for a protest meeting at the Sarita Vihar Police Station at 7 PM, on August 28 where they plan to express their grievances and demand immediate action from authorities.
Local leaders have urged residents to join the protest, emphasising the need for a unified stand against such incidents. “We have always lived peacefully, but this act has stirred anger and fear among us,” a local commented.
The outrage in Delhi comes amid ongoing tensions in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, where the discovery of a cow’s chopped tail outside a temple on Sunday (August 25) has kept the atmosphere tense for the second consecutive day. A large crowd gathered at the scene, demanding strict action against those responsible.
Bhilwara Collector Namit Mehta said, “We got information about an incident where a cow tail was found in front of a religious place and a protest by locals against it. In this connection, talks were held with the local public representatives and saints, and the protest ended. They were assured that those behind the incident will be held soon. Police are deployed in sensitive areas. The atmosphere is peaceful.”
However, tensions continued to simmer in Bhilwara as protestors gathered in the market and forced shops to shut down. The Rajasthan Police resorted to lathi charge to disperse the protestors, and the district administration appealed to people to maintain calm and avoid spreading rumors.
The incident, which occurred within the Hanuman temple premises under the Kotwali Police Station area, led to widespread uproar, with local Hindu organisations demanding immediate action. Members of the Sant Samaj and MP Damodar Aggarwal reached the spot on Monday, staging a dharna and demanding the arrest of those responsible.
Bhilwara is still simmering in tensions for the second consecutive day after a cow’s chopped tail was found outside a temple.
The incidents in Delhi and Bhilwara underscore the rising tensions surrounding acts of animal cruelty, especially in areas where religious sentiments are deeply intertwined with communal harmony.
