The rise in the incidents of theft of buffaloes in northern parts of Haryana is giving sleepless nights to the farmers. As per the reports collected from the different police stations, most of the incidents were reported in villages of Karnal, Kurukshetra, Kaithal and Yamunanagar districts.
The aggrieved farmers filed complaints of theft of their buffaloes but the police failed to get any clue about the accused, HT has learnt.
Two days after I purchased a buffalo worth ₹70,000, it was stolen from my cattle yard on the intervening night of July 3 and 4. I have filed a police complaint at Karnal’s Sadar police station but the police have failed to get any clue yet,” said Sunil Kumar, a resident of Bijna Village of Karnal district.
On the same night, the thieves also stole two buffaloes of a farmer Sarwan Pradhan of Kailash village of the district. He also filed the FIR at the same police station. A dairy farmer, Darbari Singh of Kheri Mansigh village, filed a police complaint of the theft of his two milking buffaloes from his cattle farm last month.
