Violence Erupts in Jalpally Over Cattle Transport; Police Injured in Stone-Pelting
Hyderabad, June 9 (Maxim News): Tension gripped parts of Attapur and Jalpally on Sunday night after violence broke out over the transportation and suspected sacrifice of cattle. The situation escalated quickly, leading to stone-pelting incidents, vehicle arson, and injuries to both civilians and police personnel.
According to Cyberabad Police, the unrest began when a DCM truck carrying animal skeletons was intercepted by a group of individuals near Wambay Colony, located on the RGI Airport Cargo Road–Mailardevpally stretch. The mob attacked the vehicle’s driver and set the truck ablaze after allegedly dousing it with fuel. Another DCM vehicle was also torched, and several others were damaged in the ensuing chaos.
Police Intervention and Clashes
Upon receiving information, local police rushed to the spot and attempted to control the situation. However, they were met with resistance as miscreants pelted stones, resulting in injuries to multiple policemen. Law enforcement responded with a lathi charge to disperse the crowd.
Fire tenders from Chandrayangutta and Rajendranagar fire stations were deployed to douse the flames and prevent further damage.
Cyberabad CP Appeals for Calm
Cyberabad Commissioner of Police, Avinash Mohanty, visited the incident site and confirmed that a First Information Report (FIR) had been registered. “A mob had set ablaze vehicles transporting animal carcasses and physically assaulted the driver. We are taking all necessary legal action,” said Mohanty.
He also addressed a separate incident in Attapur, where a group intercepted a vehicle transporting cattle from Bahadurpura to Rajendranagar and beat up the driver. “Thankfully, the situation was brought under control before it escalated further,” the Commissioner noted.
Police Reinforcements and Ongoing Investigation
Following the violent episodes, Hyderabad Police sent additional forces to Cyberabad to support local police in containing the unrest. A tense atmosphere prevailed at NM Guda junction, where two groups gathered and clashed. A few police personnel were injured during stone-pelting at the site.
Authorities have urged the public to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and warned of strict action against those involved in the violence.
Investigations are currently underway, and police are scanning CCTV footage to identify the culprits. More security personnel have been deployed in sensitive areas to prevent further flare-ups.
