Delhi Police arrests three in Karawal Nagar cow slaughter case

Police have arrested three criminals allegedly involved in a cow slaughter case in northeast Delhi’s Karawal Nagar area, officials said on Thursday.
The arrested accused are Wajhat (32), Jahane Alam (30) and Sajid (28) — all natives of Uttar Pradesh’s Hasanpur.
The police said the accused were found to be “dreaded criminals” operating from Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal.
“On December 24, a call was received at Karawal Nagar police station that some cow heads and other body parts had been found near the Janki Panchal Vihar area. An FIR was registered and investigation taken up,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Joy Tirkey said.
The police said CCTV camera footage was analysed and several teams were formed to nab the accused.
“A Honda City bearing a Delhi registration was found involved in the case. The car’s route was tracked and it was found that three people had disembarked near the Seemapuri depot,” Tirkey said.
Police teams identified the trio using local sources and apprehended them from their rented accommodation in the Mustafabad area.
The accused confessed to their crime during interrogation, the police said.
They disclosed that they used Xylaxin injections—procured from a chemist in Jafrabad — to make the cows unconscious.
