At least 21 cows were electrocuted in a government-run gaushala at Khaptiha Kala village here on Friday morning, a senior official said.

The incident took place at Kanha Pashu Ashrey Kendra in Tindwari Development block when the cows came in contact with a wire, District Magistrate Hiralal said.

Terming it an accident, the DM said the matter would be probed after the registration of a case.

Bajrang Dal office-bearer Prabhakar Singh Chandel, however, said the responsibility of the 'gaushala' was been given to a private non-governmental agency and its manager had kept the fodder under an electricity pole where the cows were standing when the wire fell on them.
