A man has been detained in Rajkot district of Gujarat following allegations of sexually abusing a two-year-old cow. The individual in question has been identified as Kanubhai Gondaliya. The incident reportedly unfolded when the cow, belonging to local cattle rearer Merkhibhai Chavda, wandered away from its owner’s residence.

According to police reports, Chavda was searching for his missing cow when he arrived near a cremation ground in a nearby village.

Upon noticing that Chavda had arrived, Gondaliya purportedly fled the scene.

Compounding the situation, another individual present at the location recorded the incident on his mobile phone, contributing to the evidence against Gondaliya. Following the incident, Chavda approached authorities and filed a formal complaint. This prompted police action to investigate the matter further.
