The police arrested three men on charges of killing a cow in Bhopal, an official said on Wednesday, as local authorities demolished "illegal" constructions at the house of one of them and moved to invoke the stringent National Security Act against the trio.

The alleged incident occurred on Tuesday in Paras Nagar under Gandhi Nagar police station limits of the Madhya Pradesh capital.

The Gandhi Nagar police station in-charge Arun Sharma informed that following a tip off, a police team reached the spot and spotted three persons with a blood-stained sharp-edged weapon.

Remains of the slaughtered cow were also found at the spot, he said.

The trio tried to flee the site of the crime after seeing the police team.

The police, however, caught them and during interrogation they admitted to killing the bovine, Sharma said.

The three men -- identified as Imran (30), Irshad (28) and Javed (30) -- were booked and arrested under provisions of the state's anti-cow slaughter law -- Madhya Pradesh Govansh Vadh Pratishedh Adhiniyam and -- also the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, said the police officer.

He said process of invoking the National Security Act against the accused has been initiated. -- PTI
