Police have confiscated three trucks illegally transporting cows to Haryana and arrested four persons on Saharanpur-Delhi highway in the neighboring Shamli district, a police official said today. The trucks carrying 29 cows were intercepted near Kandhla town last evening, Circle Office Rajesh Tiwari said.

The four persons - all from Haryana - have been booked under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, Tiwari said. The arrests were made after a group of activists held a protest in the area against smuggling of cows and demanded authorities to take action against people involved in it.
