The Mathura Police clarified rumors linking a fatal road accident in the Kosikalan area to cow smuggling. Chandrashekhar, also known as Farsa Baba, died in a morning accident due to poor visibility. Initial findings suggest that a truck carrying grocery items collided with another truck transporting electrical wires, causing the accident.
The police statement refuted claims circulating online about cow slaughter or cattle smuggling involvement in the accident. Authorities emphasized that the incident was not related to such activities. A case is being registered based on a received complaint, and legal proceedings are ongoing at the Kosikalan police station.
Social media posts alleging cow smuggling triggered tension in the area. Police urged the public to avoid sharing unverified information and warned of legal action against those spreading false news. Officials assured that verified updates would be shared through official channels, advising caution in sharing related content.
Chandrashekhar was reportedly chasing a truck on suspicion of cattle smuggling before the accident. Both vehicles involved have been inspected, with no evidence of cow smuggling found. The victim had stopped a grocery-laden vehicle, while the other truck, from Rajasthan, was carrying wires.
The collision led to unrest, with protesters causing chaos, traffic jams, and stone pelting. Security measures have been increased, and additional police deployed to maintain order. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent further escalation.
