The reason behind setting fire to the cows and other animals is that these perpetrators have grabbed the cultivable lands of the Hindus and due to this the litigation is going on, however, the family members of the accused are denying the charges.

Cows are an important source of income and nutrition for Hindus and are also considered sacred.
