The IIT staff and security personnel are on alert and doing their best, the IIT staffer said, adding the institute will take the best possible measures to mitigate any conflict. “Can’t authenticate if the viral video is from IIT campus,” the spokesperson said. Stray cattle remain a nuisance at the institute. On July 11, a student from Kerala, interning at the IIT, had to be hospitalised with injuries to the abdomen after a pair of bulls attacked him outside a hostel.

Asked how many bulls were there on the campus, the spokesperson said, “We cannot count as they don’t stay at one place. They are free animals and roam around the Powai lake area.”
