124 goats bought by Jain community members posing as Muslims to prevent slaughter on Bakrid in Delhi.
Jain community members posed as Muslims to buy 124 goats in Delhi on Bakrid, a Muslim festival involving animal sacrifice. The Jains, led by chartered accountant Vivek Jain, raised Rs 26 lakh to prevent the goats from being slaughtered. They dressed as Muslims to avoid higher prices and stored the animals in a temple in Chandni Chowk. The unusual act sparked a conversation about faith, tradition, and animal welfare.
