Calf In Lap, Farmer Reaches SP Office Seeking Help To Find Stolen Buffalo

He also accused the Civil Line police station of ignoring his repeated requests to file the complaint to find his buffalo.

Chhatarpur:A unique but emotional scene unfolded in the office of the superintendent of police here in Madhya Pradesh when a farmer, Bhaiyalal Patel, came with a buffalo calf in his lap, pleading for help to find its missing mother. He claimed that his buffalo was stolen almost a month ago from Karri village here, leaving his family without an income source and the calf longing for its mother.

Bhaiyalal narrated his ordeal before the SP Agam Jain while his entire family accompanied him. He also accused the Civil Line police station of ignoring his repeated requests to file the complaint to find his buffalo.

“I have been visiting the police station for the last thirty days, but the police personnel turned a deaf ear towards my complaint,” Bhaiyalal said in a desperate voice.

Bhaiyalal says he struggles to feed his family and the buffalo calf, named Padwa. “The stolen buffalo was the primary source of income for my family and I would feed its milk to my children and the calf,” he says.

“Without the buffalo, I am forced to buy milk from outside, which is becoming increasingly difficult to afford. I am facing both human duty and a financial crisis together,” he adds.

Following the SP’s intervention, the police registered a case and assured Bhaiyalal of justice. He also directed the concerned police officers to find the buffalo and return it to Bhaiyalal.

“We have registered the case and former teams to search for the stolen buffalo. It will be handed over to Bhaiyalal once found,” said Chief SP Aman Mishra.
