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.

Soma too stepped out for her usual morning walk, unaware that the bull was still roaming free. It was during this time that the animal attacked her fatally.

The tragic incident has triggered shock and anger in the locality, with residents demanding accountability and firm action from the civic authorities to prevent such incidents in the future.
