Bengaluru: In a horrific incident, a cow fell from a crane as it was being carried to be sacrificed during Eid celebrations. Tarek Fatah shared this video on Twitter and captioned it "Pakistanis 'celebrating' Eid by 'sacrificing' cows to please Allah".

 In the video, the cow is lifted and held high in the air. Moments later, the cow slips from the belt and falls to the ground. This is followed by a loud noise denoting excruciating pain that the animal had to endure. Men gathered around it, and it was presumably offered as sacrifice later.
