In Mumbai's Sakinaka area, a man named Akash Yadav has been arrested for allegedly setting a cow on fire and starting 15 two-wheelers ablaze in what police suspect was a case of revenge. According to sources, the incident began after a confrontation between Yadav and resident Vijay Yadav two days prior, following a reported knockdown of several motorcycles.
The alleged victim confronted Akash, who allegedly responded with abuse and threats, leading Yadav to allegedly pour petrol on a cow and set 15 two-wheelers ablaze. The attack came to light around 5:30 am when Vijay and his brother heard the distressed mooing of one of the cows. Upon investigation, they found the animal with burns on its mouth.
The family later discovered fires had also broken out in the Chaudhari Estate Compound, where motorcycles, electricity meters, and parts of commercial shops were damaged. Police claim CCTV footage identified Yadav, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. The accused has been arrested and faces charges under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and other relevant provisions.
