The cops were earlier oblivious to the fact that the bull was sitting on the roof, Jagran.com reported. When locals spotted the bull, they gathered outside the police station and alerted the cops. The police acted after getting an idea about the presence of the bull.
In a bid to rescue the bull, officials went near it with batons. Scared, the bulljumped off the outpost roof and fell on to the tin shed of Gram Pradhan Jamurwa Buzurg’s house next door. It suffered serious injuries.
How the bull reached the police station roof is not known.
Early this year, in January, a bull sauntered into the State Bank of India at Unnao in Uttar Pradesh and sat patiently in one corner. The visual caused a commotion, till a security guard escorted the bovine out. The video went viral and got many reactions. One comment wittily pointed out, “Even they can’t handle bull in lunch break. “They insist on their policy,” while another user on X posted, “No special treatment for anyone,” with laughing emoticons.
