Former BJP leader Vikas Singh visited the grieving family and alleged that Soma’s death was the tragic outcome of misleading and false reports circulated by certain leaders and municipal officials claiming that the dangerous bull had already been captured.

He said these “baseless and cheap publicity-driven claims” created a false sense of safety among residents. Trusting the inaccurate reports, locals resumed their routine activities without caution.
