Vadodara: Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has begun probe into the videos that have gone viral showing the impounding team releasing the cattle. The civic body is already facing heat after BJP state president C R Paatil was critical of VMC’s handling of the cattle menace.
Two widely circulated videos show a man approaching the cattle party. Another shows members of the party releasing three cows from the carriage of the vehicle that was utilized to carry the impounded cattle.
Director of encroachment and security in VMC, Dr Mangesh Jaiswal said that an inquiry had been started and statements of members of the party were recorded. He said that the team included one supervisor, eight catchers and two other members. Cops too are posted along with the team.
