New Delhi - Alok Aggarwal, municipal vet and cow hunter, is in charge of a secret operation.
It is barely dawn, and Aggarwal already lights up his second cigarette of the day. One of his animal trucks is late, and the rest of his team is hanging around a New Delhi police station, bored.
That could draw unwanted attention: "The cow owners are well-connected and watch us closely. We cannot surprise them any longer."
For years the Indian capital's administration has been trying to keep down New Delhi's stray cow population, with Aggarwal on the front line.
