Police arrested two persons after a video showed that the carcass of a cow tied to a tractor with a rope had been dragged on the road in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas district, an officer said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred in Padiadeh village under the Khategaon police station limits.
"Taking cognisance of the video clip that surfaced on Tuesday, police registered a case against two men, identified as Rajesh and Bhagat, under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for negligence," said Additional Superintendent of Police Suryakant Sharma.

"They reached the spot without a trolley and dragged the carcass with a tractor," he added.
