Indian Hindu devotees worship a cow to celebrate Krishna Janmashtami in Hyderabad.

Hindus consider cows to be sacred animals and celebrate ‘Krishna Janmashtami’ every year to mark the birth of the Hindu deity Krishna.

Slaughtering cows is illegal in many Indian states, and some also require a licence to transport them across state borders.

 Squads of vigilantes roam the highways inspecting livestock trucks. In July, a Muslim man was attacked and killed by vigilantes for transporting cows in western India’s Rajasthan state, police said.
