The police arrested five persons and rescued 15 bovines as they foiled two bovine smuggling bids in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, an official said today.
A Police party during checking at Manjakote here in the district intercepted a vehicle that was on its way to Kashmir last night, the police officer said.
Police rescued 8 bovines, seized the vehicle and booked two persons identified as Mohmmad Hanif and Showkat Hussain, he said, adding that a case has been registered and investigation was underway.
