Jammu & Kashmir police intercepted three separate attempts to smuggle cattle, seizing the animals and detaining the suspects, officials said.
The Jammu & Kashmir police announced that they have successfully foiled three distinct attempts to smuggle bovine animals across the state border. In each operation, law‑enforcement teams intercepted the illegal transport, seized the cattle involved and placed the accused under custody. The police spokesperson said the raids were part of an ongoing crackdown on livestock smuggling, which threatens local farmers and violates existing animal‑transport regulations. No injuries were reported, and the seized animals are being handed over to the appropriate veterinary authorities for care. The department has urged the public to report any suspicious movement of cattle to help curb the illegal trade.
