Over the past few weeks, the animal had caused extensive damage to standing crops and attacked passersby, spreading fear and insecurity among villagers. A team, led by veterinary officer Dr Rajiv, tranquilised the bull after a strenuous operation that lasted more than four hours. The animal was later removed from the area to prevent further harm. Villagers said that several other stray bulls were also roaming in distressing conditions, many bearing deep wounds and limping. Preliminary observations suggested that these injuries were sustained during repeated incursions into agricultural fields, where these animals reportedly faced retaliation from the affected farmers.
