Armed with firm directives from the government, the city police have launched a decisive crackdown on self-styled "gau rakshaks" (cow vigilantes), many of whom have been exposed as extortionists masquerading as protectors of cattle. For years, these rogue elements have intercepted cattle transport vehicles, harassed owners and extorted money under the guise of cow protection.
