In a daring daylight heist, a gang of thieves made off with four cows from the Nadia area in Assam’s Hojai district, but their getaway bid was cut short when the police intervened, leading to the apprehension of two suspects and the recovery of stolen items. According to sources, the theft took place under the jurisdiction of the Udali police station, with the miscreants breaking through barricades to snatch the livestock.
The police were hot on the gang’s trail, chasing them down in a high-speed vehicle. The chase culminated in a confrontation at Mobarak Basti in Nilbagan, where the police opened fire to try and bring the fleeing thieves to a halt. In the ensuing drama, the authorities managed to apprehend two of the suspects, while the remaining two are still at large and on the run.
Details of the incident emerged from the Hojai police, who confirmed that the stolen cows were recovered and taken into custody. “We have recovered four stolen cows and apprehended two suspects,” said SP (South) Siddhartha Chatterjee, adding that the police are still on the lookout for the remaining two absconding suspects. The suspects are being interrogated to uncover more information about the heist, with investigations ongoing to identify the masterminds behind the daring theft.
The incident highlights the need for stepped-up vigilance in the region, given the frequency of similar cow-related thefts in recent months. The police, however, are assuring the public that all efforts are being made to ensure the culprits are brought to justice and the stolen animals are returned to their rightful owners.
The Hojai police have launched an investigation into the matter, and the district authorities are working closely with the local community to prevent any further incidents of this nature. As the probe unfolds, it remains to be seen what other details will surface, but one thing is clear – the police will not rest until the remaining suspects are brought to justice, and the law is upheld in the region.
