Sources said several high-profile punters from both Khammam and Bhadradri-Kothagudem district and elsewhere in the State participated in cockfighting by pitching their trained roosters in the ring at various venues on the other side of the border in Andhra Pradesh’s West Godavari, East Godavari and Krishna districts on Saturday.
