A disturbing incident has sparked tension in the Madeyganj area of Lucknow, as the remains of a cow’s head were found outside a temple on Friday evening, March 21, 2025. The discovery immediately drew outrage, particularly in light of its proximity to religious sites. The local police and BJP MLA Neeraj Bora took swift action to handle the situation and investigate the matter thoroughly.

BJP MLA Neeraj Bora’s Statement

Upon hearing about the unsettling discovery near the Hanumant Nagar Shanti Vatika in Khadra, BJP MLA Neeraj Bora arrived on the scene and strongly condemned the act. Sharing the incident on X (formerly Twitter), MLA Bora expressed his concern over the "horrific incident" of the cow's head being cut and thrown by alleged antisocial elements. He termed the incident a "big conspiracy to harm communal harmony" in the area, emphasizing that those responsible would be dealt with severely.

Police Investigation Underway

The Lucknow police promptly responded to the incident, with teams immediately arriving at the site to remove the remains following legal protocols. A post-mortem is being conducted with the consultation of a veterinary doctor to determine the cause of death. In addition, the police are investigating the incident using CCTV footage from the surrounding areas, and specialized teams have been formed to identify the perpetrators.

In a video statement, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Manisha Singh reassured the public, saying that the police are gathering scientific and technical evidence and will take stringent legal action once the culprits are identified.
