A truck conductor carrying 30 buffaloes from North Gujarat’s Deesa to South Gujarat’s Bharuch was stabbed with a sharp-edged weapon by unidentified gau-rakshaks in Ahmedabad’s Ramol on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. The injured conductor has been identified as Zaheer Qureshi, a resident of Deesa in Banaskantha district. Around 12.30 AM some unidentified persons claiming themselves to be ‘gau-rakshaks’ tried to stop the truck. Soon, Qureshi and Sipai saw police at some distance on the highway and hence stopped the truck. He said he tried to run away out of fear when two unidentified persons came on a two-wheeler and one of them stabbed him with a sharp-edged knife-like weapon. He fell unconscious thereafter and gained consciousness in hospital. The truck was carrying around 30 buffaloes from Deesa in North Gujarat to Bharuch in South Gujarat for slaughtering without mandatory papers and permission, said the police.
