The bull’s presence made it difficult for family members and visitors to approach the body. Villagers said it stood there with a solemn demeanor, refusing to leave despite repeated attempts to drive it away. It finally moved after being forced back with sticks.
Locals recalled that Chinna Naik was a farmer owning three acres of land, lived peacefully without disputes, regularly offered prayers to Lord Shiva and Lord Rama, and often visited temples. This led to speculation in the village that the bull’s arrival was an act of divine will.
Photographs and videos of the incident gone viral on social media, drawing varied reactions and comments.
