"Smugglers from other areas pass through Alwar and when are stopped by villagers, open fire. Why do these smugglers come here? To get beaten and trashed?," he said, adding that there is a considerable anger among people against smuggling of cows.The police on Saturday had said that they had received a tip-off about a mini-truck transporting cows heading towards Ramgarh and set up barricade. However, the vehicle broke through the barricade and sped off. Residents of Yadav Nagar village in Khilora gram panchayat spotted the truck and attacked the three occupants.
