"About three days back, the cow died a few metres away after being freed from the municipality-run cattle complex. The information about the cow's death was given to the municipality authorities but no action was taken," the corporator from Manpur area, Shahid Khan, claimed yesterday. The Muslim residents of the area then decided to dispose of the carcass.
"As the carcass was lying unattended for hours even after conveying the information to the municipality, we decided to bury the carcass with full respect last [Sunday] evening," Khan said. Meanwhile, the municipality's cattle complex in-charge, Dayaprasad Sejkar, said he had no information about the cow's death. "The dead cow didn't belong to the cattle complex. I had no information about the death," Sejkar claimed.
