Despite the Hyderabad High Court's ban on conducting cockfights, the sport was held in several places in Andhra Pradesh during the ongoing three-day festival of Sankranti, reports said. A mini stadium was set up for the sport in Rajahmundry, despite strict warnings by police officials. Reports said some of the events were organised by politicians, although the police denied it.
