In a bizarre news from Madhya Pradesh, a Bhind resident went to the police station complaining his buffalo was refusing to be milked. The Bhind resident is a farmer by profession and took to the police with his strange complaint. In his complaint the farmer also claimed that his buffalo was under the influence of witchcraft. According to the police, the buffalo owner, on not being able to milk his buffalo spoke to other villagers about the issue. The villagers told the farmer that it is due to witchcraft that the buffalo wasn’t giving milk properly. Later, the police helped the man connect with a veterinary clinic.
While the case may sound strange and even funny to some, this is not the first time an animal was officially reported. Back in 2019, parents of a 5-year-old girl took to the police after a rooster bit the girl on her cheek, leading to her bleeding. The police had to intervene in the matter and soon, the matter was resolved.
