Following the incident, members of Hindu groups gathered in large numbers and started protesting in the area demanding the arrest of the youth.Vijay Kumar, station officer at Chaprauli police station, said, “On the complaint of the calf’s owner, an FIR has been filed against the youth whose family says he is a minor. His real age will be ascertained only after medical examination. A government veterinarian examined the calf's body. The calf definitely died of internal injury, but a slide has been sent to an Agra-based lab to confirm rape. We will soon arrest him.”Ankit Badoli, youth wing district president of Hindu Jagran Manch, said, “I don't have words to describe the category of crime it was and the police were trying to hush up the case. We were forced to stage dharna and compelled police to file an FIR.”
