Raging bull disrupts Eid celebration, injures 5 persons

A bull disrupted Eid celebrations in Mathura in Uttar Pradesh when it went on a rampage before the day's main prayers, police said.

The incident took place as Muslims were preparing for the namaz near Deeng gate around 9 am. Just then, the bull entered the road and injured five people including two children.

Furious Muslims then raised slogans against the Mathura administration. Once the prayers got over, the devout again protested.

District Magistrate Vishal Chauhan and Senior Superintendent of Police Gulab Singh had a tough time placating the mob. Elderly Muslims helped to bring the situation under control, police sources said.
