The reason behind these widespread deaths is believed to be food poisoning. Officials are waiting for the post-mortem report to establish the cause of death. Most of these cows were sent to this cowshed as rescues from slaughterhouses and donations from devotees.

According to the caretaker of the cows, all the cows were fed at 7 pm; around 9 pm, one by one all the cows started to collapse. By the time it was 9:30, hoards of cows were lying dead in the gaushala. Sahu, a cowshed committee member confirmed that number had crossed 100.
