Reasi police foils bovine smuggling attempt, two arrested

In a continued effort to curb bovine smuggling under the special drive “Operation – DHENU,” the Reasi police have successfully intercepted a smuggling attempt in the Talwara area, resulting in the rescue of two bovines and the arrest of two individuals.

Acting on reliable information received at Police Post Talwara, authorities were alerted to the movement of bovine smugglers who were transporting animals by foot from Talwara towards Kashmir for illegal sale. A prompt response by the police led to the apprehension of Tariq Ali, son of Ashraf Ali, and Abdul Gani, son of Mohd Sharief, both residents of Panassa, Delyot, Tehsil – Thakrakote, District – Reasi. The suspects were found carrying two bovine animals without the necessary permissions from the concerned authorities.
