Assam: Dhubri cops rescue seven cows, seize luxury car in cattle smuggling bust 

In a significant crackdown on illegal cattle smuggling, the Golakganj police successfully intercepted a luxury vehicle and rescued seven cows. The operation, led by Golakganj police station in-charge Debajit Kalita, took place on National Highway 17 in the Biratnagar Chariali area in Dhubri. 

Acting on intelligence, a police team was strategically positioned on the highway and their vigilance paid off when they spotted a speeding HONDA AMAZE vehicle bearing registration number AS 03H 7675, originating from West Bengal and heading towards Gauripur.

Despite repeated signals to halt, the driver of the vehicle attempted to evade the authorities, leading to a high-speed chase. The police team, however, persisted and managed to intercept the car in North Raipur. Capitalizing on the darkness, the driver abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene.

Upon searching the car, the police discovered seven cows crammed inside. This successful operation highlights the persistent efforts of smugglers to circumvent law enforcement. It is noteworthy that the smugglers continue to devise new and audacious methods to transport cattle illegally, ranging from concealing them under sacks of potatoes and cartons to utilizing luxury vehicles, boats, and even banana tree coverings.

This latest bust underscores the ongoing challenge faced by the police in curbing cattle smuggling despite heightened security measures. Investigations are currently underway to identify and apprehend the absconding driver and further dismantle the smuggling network.
