Pune: 12 arrested after cops bust illegal bullock cart race in Katraj

At present, there is a ban on bullock cart races in Maharashtra while there are voices from the political circle speaking against the ban.

Sub-inspector Nitin Shinde, who is the investigating officer in the case, said, “After we received the information, we went to the spot with a team. When we reached, people started running here and there. We nabbed some key persons, including organisers. We have seized bullocks, carts and some high-end cars. A total of 12 people have been arrested so far.”

Officials said some of the arrested people include those from outside Pune, who especially came to attend the race.
