At least six pick-up trucks with their windshields shattered, allegedly carrying buffalo calves, had been surrounded by a mob. The call was made by Mohammad Raees, who told police that vehicles carrying buffaloes had been stopped. An eyewitness to the incident, Raees, who was in one of the six vehicles that were attacked, claimed they were transporting buffaloes from parts of Uttar Pradesh to Ghazipur in Delhi. When we tried to explain that we had all necessary papers for transporting buffaloes, no one listened to us. They assaulted me and my brothers… When someone called PCR, they damaged the windshields of the vehicles,” he said in the complaint.
