Shocking! Man arrested for raping cows at cattle shelter

In a horrifying and inhuman incident, a man was arrested for allegedly raping cows at a shelter in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The accused has been identified as Rajkumar, who was caught red handed by volunteers of the shelter.

This shelter is run by Kartaliya Baba Ashram in the city and the priest Ramdas is inconsolable after hearing this news.

According to India Today reports, the volunteers were keeping a vigil on the shelter after they came across CCTV footage showing the man raping several cows. The accused was caught when he returned to the shelter and attempted to rape cows again. Rajkumar was reportedly beaten up by those who caught him before being handed over to the police. 

While speaking to India Today, the teary-eyed priest said "CCTV footage shows the man doing unspeakable acts with seven cows one by one. We have caught him and brought to the police station. The act has left us distraught, we are unable to understand this".

The accused, who hails from Gonda in Nawabganj, claims that he was under the influence of alcohol. "I was drunk, I don't know what I did, I only remember that I was beaten by both, people who caught me and the police," Rajkumar told India Today TV.

Meanwhile, Ayodhya SSP Jogendra Kumar said the man has been arrested and booked under sections 376 and 511 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for cruelty against animals.
