There were people who witnessed this happen. Since the time this video went viral it has been garnering outrage. People are angered by the way animals are ruthlessly treated by authorities.
Apparently farmers in the area complain of their crops being destroyed by the nilgais. So an initiative was taken by Vaishali MLA Rajkishore Singh, with the cooperation of the state government and local administration to hire a professional shooter to carry out the killings.
Since the video went into circulation, Singh reportedly questioned its veracity and reportedly called it "fabricated video".
Later, Singh reportedly said, "This incident didn't happen under my watch. I would not have allowed it to happen if I knew it. I had requested the DM to call the shooter and kill the Nilgais to reduce their numbers, after which forest department shooter came and shot Nilgais in many villages. The live burial is inhumane and I condemn it. Authorities will take the necessary actions."
