Police and BSF recover four cows after theft attempt in Khowai
A joint operation by the Khowai Police and the Border Security Force rescued four cows following an attempted theft in Sonatala.
A joint operation by the Khowai Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) recovered four cows following an attempted theft in the Sonatala area of Khowai subdivision, according to Tripura Star News.
The incident occurred on the night of Saturday, November 7, 2026, when a group of approximately 8 to 10 people allegedly attempted to steal four cows from the house of Chiranjit Shil.
Local residents in the Dhalabil area, who were preparing for Kali Puja celebrations, noticed the group moving with the cattle and raised an alarm. This caused the thieves to abandon two cows and flee with the remaining two.
After the owner reported the theft to the Khowai Police Station on Sunday morning, a search operation was launched with assistance from the Prahar Mura BSF Camp.
The joint team successfully recovered all four cows from the Dhalabil and Gournagar areas. The owner expressed gratitude to the police, BSF, and local residents for the recovery.
Local residents have demanded increased night patrolling to prevent further incidents of cattle theft in the area.
