The cow had gone missing by the time Saneesh arrived, and during his further investigation, he discovered a dead cow 50 metres distant. Saneesh claimed that since the cow was killed by miscreants, his daily income has decreased. Every day, the cow yielded roughly 24 litres of milk. 

After performing a post-mortem, veterinarians sent the samples for analysis. Only the final result will reveal the cause of the cow's death. The Independent Dairy Farmers' Association called for action to give Saneesh, who lost his life-saving cow, the right compensation. The dairy farmers' group officials stated that the perpetrators of the horrible deed deserved to face consequences.
