The picture went viral on social media and people were in utter disbelief wondering if the image was photoshopped. Even the local administration refused to believe it and laughed the matter off when people called for help. 

The police, after dismissing it several times for a prank, finally showed up only to find the animal up on an adventurous trip, told Times of India.

“Initially, the constable at the control room thought somebody must be joking. However, when the phone kept ringing for the same complaint, a team of senior officers rushed to the spot and were taken aback after spotting the bull on top of the water tank,” police told TOI.

The task of bringing the bovine down took about eight-hours which saw many failed attempts. At last, the State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) devised a way that worked!

“We tied a wire rope which is used in digging bore well from where the bull was stuck. It was stretched upto the ground. Safety belts were tied on the body of bull which was a bit difficult task. Finally, wire was passed under the four-legs of bull and he was left hanging between them and came down. It took us almost 8 hours to rescue the bull,” Ratangarh’s sub-divisional magistrate told TOI.

Meanwhile, Twitter has gone nuts over this story. 

Well, one hell of a bull-adventure that was!
