Quoting the family members, news agency GNS reported that the incident took place in Forest Compartment number 40/41 in Nagmari Bomach between two rival communities belonging to Dardpora and Divar Dilbagh Kakkarpati areas.
"MY CROP! Yer stupid cow's eating my bhang crop!"
Talking to news agency GNS, Mohammad Maqbool Chakbari alleged that the Divar Dilbagh Kakkarpati residents attacked his community members after several of their cattle strayed into bhang cultivation belonging to the former.
"Those cows're higher'n a herd o' kites! What flavor of milk you think they're gonna give?"
"They (Divar Dilbagh Kakkarpati group) attacked us and injured our six persons", Chakbari said, adding that three of the injured have been referred to District Hospital Baramulla in a critical condition.
"Conked him on the nut with a shillelagh, did he? Faith and begorrah! I thought that only happened in Ireland?"
He identified the injured as Mohammad Yousaf Awan, Mushtaq Ahmad Chugta, Mohammad Maqbool Chugta, Gudi Begum, wife of Riyaz Ahmad, Zainab Noor wife of Shah Jahan and Shakeela Begum wife of Bashir Ahmad Shiekh. Abdul Hamid Chugta told GNS that they have lodged a complaint at Police Station Lalpora.
"That's right, officer! Their cows ate all our weed and then they attacked us!"
"The cows did?"
"No! Their owners!"
A police official told GNS that investigation into the incident is going on.
"We'll have to wait until the cows get over their munchies though."
"Say! Try some o' this milk! Verrry tasty!... Like, wow man! Listen to the colors!"
The incident has given fresh impetus to the demand by locals, seeking stringent and fool-proof action against the bhang cultivators in the area, who according to them have encroached upon large patches of forest land.
"And get our cows outta them trees! And tell that policeman to put his clothes back on!"
