A farmer of village Kheri Manihar in Mawana area of district Meerut posted photos and details of his buffalo in a group on Instagram for sale.

Farmer Mohit of village Kaithala, of Gulaothi area, in district Bulandshahar, saw these details and identified his stolen buffalo which was stolen from his house on November 18 last year.

Shloak Kumar, SSP, Bulandshahar, said that there was a mark on the face of buffalo and Mohit immediately identified his buffalo after seeing the photos on Instagram.

“ A police team was sent to village Kheri Manihar along with Mohit on Monday, after he reported the matter to Gulaothi police, for identification and confirmation”, said SSP.
