“A Goat has been arrested by the Kanpur police for not wearing a mask”
What FACTLY found
According to a tweet by the Kanpur police, an unclaimed goat roaming around was brought to the police station and later handed over to the owner. But Circle Officer of Anwarganj of Police Station, Saifuddin Beg said that the man accompanying the goat ran away leaving behind the goat as he was not wearing a mask, so they bought the goat to the police station. Though both the versions of the police are different, the goat has not been arrested for not wearing a mask.
