The Welcome police initiated a probe into the matter and found that two miscreants on a scooter dumped the buffalo’s head near the temple. The cops have now arrested a 27-year-old Azeem and a 16-year-old minor in connection to the case.
Both the accused are said to be residents of the Baburpur area of Delhi. They were booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 34 (common intention), 153A (promoting enmity between different religions), 295A (malicious act to outrage religious feelings) and 429 (mischief by killing cattle).
In a statement, the police said, “Acting swiftly on the information that a severed head of a buffalo was found on a roadside under Welcome police station, the police of North East district have arrested two accused.”
