Two policemen were injured when a group of youngsters indulged in stone-pelting near Karmanghat Hanuman temple of Vanasthalipuram, in the eastern part of Hyderabad after midnight on February 22.

Quoting doctors, the police said the SI suffered a deep cut wound on the head and required to be operated upon. The other injured constable is recuperating. Five police vehicles were also damaged in the incident.
Trouble started when a group of cow vigilante group intercepted a vehicle in which, reportedly, two oxen along with three calves were being transported from Mall village, near Nalgonda. The cow vigilante group members, who came in a seven-seater vehicle, allegedly attacked the persons sitting inside the vehicle transporting the animals.
Two others, who were following from behind and riding a bike, were also roughed up by the group. The persons attacked by the group fled the place. Within a few minutes, they rang up their associates who rushed to the spot and started attacking the cow vigilante group members.
The cow vigilante group members, who were outnumbered by the attackers, rushed inside a temple at Karmanghat and started pelting stone at the attackers. Meanwhile, the police arrived there and dispersed the two groups.
“We arrested seven members who attacked the youngsters and seized the vehicle in which the oxen and calves were being transported,” the police said.
