One of the hunters said that the team immediately mobilised and intercepted the holy warriors on July 16. He said ''On sighting the turbans with the rustled cattle, we engaged them in a fierce shootout. While they fled with some of the cows, we were able to recover 10 at the scene,'' he said. The recovered cows were taken for safekeeping, while efforts are ongoing to trace the fleeing turbans and recover the remaining livestock.
