Rescue of 53 cattle from illegal inter-state trafficking

On 11 December 2025, while I was travelling near Maraimalai Nagar, I noticed a long container truck. The vehicle was leaking foul-smelling liquid (a mixture of dung and urine) and I immediately understood that cattle were being transported illegally.

I called 100 and informed the police that the truck was heading towards the Paranur Toll Gate. The Chengalpattu Taluk Police intercepted the vehicle before it crossed the tollgate. When they questioned the driver, he stated that cattle were being transported to Kerala for slaughter.

I found that the condition of the cattle was extremely cruel. They were tightly crammed without space to move, were not given food or water, and many had injuries caused by trampling and overcrowding. Some animals were even standing on top of others. I also found a bag of green chillies inside the container, and several cattle had red, watery eyes due to the illegal and inhumane practice of rubbing chillies into their eyes.

So I filed a complaint with the Chengalpattu Taluk Police Station.

53 cattle have been handed over to Gaushala for further treatment and care.

Their lives have been saved.
