Images show cows being strung by their necks to a makeshift crane. Smaller to medium cows are pulled over a tall barbed fence, with a crowd of smugglers gathered on either side.

That's just one of the ways how these poor animals are trafficked from India into Bangladesh. Although the video does not appear to be recent, it shows the callous and inhuman ways cows are smuggled over the border fence.
The clip has been viewed by 1.5 lakh people. It was also telecast on Bangladeshi news channels. Retired Major General PK Sehgal says, "You can see how the cattle is pushed over the fence. The video shows how, unfortunately, the smuggling has been done with the aid of those who are expected to guard the border."
Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh, Major General Aziz Ahmed denied all theories of connivance. "If you tell me there is connivance between smugglers from India and Bangladesh, I will agree. But there is no connivance from the forces. However there are pockets which are not fenced," he said.
