With the soaring prices of sacrificial animals, robbers see them as lucrative targets. A single bull worth over two million rupees can be stolen and sold illegally without any documentation.

Enraged drivers blocked the road in protest, accusing police of negligence. They claimed a police patrol was present but refused to intervene, citing jurisdictional limits.
