NEW DELHI: Former Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel was hit by a rushing cow during the BJP’s “Tiranga Yatra” rally, causing a small fracture in his left leg, according to NDTV.

When the cow rammed into Patel, he was leading the rally. According to the former minister, about 2,000 individuals took part in the walk. When the “cow suddenly began running,” people had travelled about 70% of the distance.

The footage indicates that, in addition to Patel, a few others were thrown to the ground.
