In the Cockfights Vs Police game, cocks emerged winners yet again with the police failing to check the organisers and punters.
Following strict directives from the High Court to the police to ensure that the customary cockfights were not organised during Sankranti, it was felt that Sankranti would pass away without the betting this year. Moreover, it was believed that the pandemic would also deter people from gathering in large numbers for the betting event.
But on Bhogi, the first day of the three-day festival, cockfights were held as usual in both the Godavari, Krishna and Guntur districts. According to information, punters bet over Rs 100 crore on the cocks.
