How A Buffalo Solved A Problem That A Village Panchayat Couldn't In UP

Cops called both the claimants to the police station on Thursday. However, despite a panchayat over the issue held for several hours, both of them kept claiming the buffalo to be theirs.
Bizarre though it may sound, the police in Uttar Pradesh's Pratapgarh found an innovative way to decide the ownership of a buffalo that had gone missing from its owner's home.
As the panchayat failed to resolve the issue, the police left the decision to the buffalo by leaving it unattended on the road. The buffalo, after some time, walked to the home of its owner and the matter was resolved.
The case involved Nandlal Saroj, a resident of Rai Askaranpur village under Maheshganj police station of the district. His buffalo went missing some days back and strayed to Purey Harikesh village where one Hanuman Saroj allegedly caught hold of it.
