Police here Sunday said they had arrested a man involved in the murder of a cow protection group's volunteer in Haryana.

Tahir, 32, was arrested Saturday from Uten village in Mewat district close to Gurgaon, police said.

He was involved in the Aug 25 murder of Vikrant Yadav, a volunteer working for cow protection, police said.

"He was a member of a four-member gang involved in stealing cattle," Anand Kumar, chief of crime branch Bilaspur, told IANS.
