By intercepting the truck which was carrying the consignment and carrying out a frisk the cops found 22 cattle who were being transported under inhumane conditions and rescued them.
The rescued cattle have been sent to Maitapur Goshala and efforts are underway to trace the driver and helper of the truck who managed to give police a slip.
