Finally on Sunday UP police managed to rescue the cattle following an intensive overnight search.
After finding his buffaloes back Azam Khan said, “my buffaloes have such fame, which even Queen Victoria would not have received. Switch on the television and you find bhainsein aagey-aagey, aur main peeche peeche, aur sir pe gobar (the buffaloes walk ahead and I follow them, dung on (my) head).”
