I am really appreciated by Ullala police actions and the award should be given to their timely actions. Stealing is not allowed at all in the Islam. Some people are spoiling the name of Muslim community and giving chance to talk these so called some protector of Hindu community organizer.
Appreciated Ullala Police timely actions. This culprits are spoiling image of Muslim communities by stealing the COWs.
