New Delhi, February 24: A 42-year-old man, waiting for school bus for his child, died in a stray cattle attack in south Delhi's Tigri area here, police said on Friday. Footage from a CCTV camera showed the animal goring Subhash Kumar Jha, a resident of Khanpur, and pound him with its hoofs as he lay on road. In the video, Jha's son could be seen screaming for help. The cow stomped on Jha's chest and head a number of times after goring him.
The people standing nearby tried to save him by trying to hit the animal with sticks, the video showed. The incident took place near Jaspal Mart in Devli Mor around 8 am Thursday when Jha was waiting for a bus for his son to go to school, a police officer said. The victim, who worked as a financier, is survived by wife and two sons, aged 7 and 13. "He had gone to drop his younger son to school and was waiting for the bus when he was attacked by a stray cow," Manoranjan, a cousin of the victim, told PTI.
