Unidentified men allegedly set on fire a vehicle here which was carrying some milch animals, police said today.
The vehicle owner has lodged a complaint with the police that the miscreants last night stopped the heavy vehicle, which was carrying the animals, and set it on fire after its driver was asked to get down and the animals were set free, Sirsa SP Mitesh Jain said.
