Gau raksha dals work in tandem like the cylinders in an engine. Someone tips them off about someone else running cattle usually a rivalry or enmity over old grudges. And they leave in the dead of the night. The police are kept away from the picture as much as possible and only when the cops can block someone who has gotten away with cattle or buffalo or any other animal, will they voluntarily call 100. Here in this series of photos are people who have potentially destroyed many thousands dependent on making goods from cow carcass.
