Pranin Foundation, Darbar Chowkdi, Vadodara is an NGO engaged in diligently protecting animals.
On Saturday 2025-03-29 at around 4 am, members of Pranin Foundation in Maharashtra managed to intercept a 10 wheel truck near Nandane village after tip off. Twenty six desi Gir breed cows were rescued after a dramatic chase in pitch darkness. Cow smugglers Asif Wireman and Shafiq Tata were smuggling the cows for slaughter. The truck driver and his helper managed to flee after the tyres burst. FIR has been lodged at Songir Police Station, Dhule district.
Incomplete video of the chase has gone viral. Most of the videos end abruptly and don't show the cows being transported in the truck. The captions in those videos are projecting the NGO members as criminals/ highway robbers.
