On Wednesday, a 29-year-old man was detained for raping a pregnant cow. The event happened in the South 24 Parganas district’s Namkhana block’s North Chandanpidi neighbourhood.
The accused has been identified as Pradyut Bhuiya. He has been arrested after the owner of the pregnant cow lodged a complaint.
The sources confirmed that Aarti Bhuiya and his family, who reside in the North Chandanpidi, complained about their neighbour, Pradyut, trespassing on their property to enter the cattle shed behind their house. He then ‘brutally raped’ one of their cows.
The complainant said “the cow died due to excessive bleeding after being raped at around midnight,” the complainant said.
Pradyut was charged with a crime under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. The Kakdwip Sub-Divisional Court then heard his case, and he was given a 14-day jail sentence.
“There are innumerable allegations against Pradyut. He had earlier stolen goats, vehicles, and vegetables from fields,” said a resident of Chandanpidi village.
