Biswanath Chariali, Aug 22: Two trucks loaded with cattle heads were seized at Buraighat under Behali constituency in Assam on Tuesday.
On receiving information regarding the transportation of cattle heads in the area, the Behali Police set up a check point late at night following which two trucks loaded with cattle heads were seized by the police.
The police rescued as many as 50 cattle heads from the two trucks bearing registration number AS01-QC3867 and AS14C-6194. Four people including the drivers and helpers of the truck were also arrested.
The arrested drivers and helpers of the truck initially tried to deceive the police by giving them wrong information about the source and destination of the cattle heads.
