The video has been viewed almost 60,000 times on Twitter and has generated thousands of ‘likes’.
Sachu was crowned second runner-up in the pageant.
Incidents of cow vigilantes taking on alleged cattle smugglers have been reported frequently over the last couple of years, drawing criticism from different quarters.
In September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that it is unfortunate that some people get shocked on hearing the words “Om” or “cow”.
“Some people, if they hear words like ‘gaay’ (cow) and Om, their hair stands on end. They feel that the country has gone back to the 16th century. Can one talk about rural economy without animals,” Modi had said during the launch of the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP) along with other schemes for farmers.
