Three arrested in UP for carrying severed head of cow

Three persons were arrested today in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur district after a purported video showing them carry the severed head of a cow went viral on social media, police said.

In the video, Mujahid Ali, Intezar, and Zakir Ahmed were purportedly seen moving around with the head of a slaughtered cow in the lanes of Rampur village under the Khudaganj police station, SP (City) Dinesh Tripathi said.

A local BJP leader, Rajiv Kumar Singh, had lodged an FIR against them yesterday, following which the trio was arrested, Tripathi said.
