Jagran correspondent, Bhubaneswar. Taking major action against the cow-smuggling network, Odisha Police has frozen about 200 bank accounts in Keonjhar district. These accounts are allegedly linked to the cow mafia. Bank lockers are also linked to many of these accounts, which have now been brought under investigation.
According to police sources, the action followed extensive raids conducted in Keonjhar, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts last week. During the raid, police seized crores of rupees in cash as well as vehicles worth lakhs of rupees. The huge amount of cash recovered has exposed the huge network of the cow-smuggling syndicate and its financial strength.
During investigation, an account came to light in the main branch of Union Bank located in Kendujhar city, which is registered in the name of cow-mafia accused Arun Kumar Sahu alias Mantu, resident of Turumunga. Apart from this, bank accounts of other people associated with cow smuggling have also been seized in Telkoi police station area of the district.
Kendujhar Additional Superintendent of Police Snehasish Sahu said that so far around 200 suspicious bank accounts have been identified. Letters have been sent to the concerned banks to freeze all the accounts. He said that most of the accounts have already been frozen and the lockers associated with many accounts are also being investigated.
ASP said that four special teams have been formed for this action, which are visiting different districts and checking bank lockers. Police say that more financial transactions and assets related to the cow smuggling racket may be revealed in the coming days.
