Bengaluru: Tension at railway station over consignment of meat
Bengaluru, Jul 26: Tension prevailed at the Bengaluru City Railway Station when a consignment of meat weighing about three tonnes loaded in about 150 cartons reached here from Jaipur in a train on Friday night, railway sources said.
Puneeth Kerehalli, a cow vigilante, earlier jailed on murder charge, claimed it was dog meat. However, meat dealer Abdul Razzaq, who had ordered the meat, dismissed the charge.
The consignment was ordered legally and it is not dog meat but sheep meat, he said.
"We have legal documents to prove it. One can see the tail of the animal that was slaughtered. It's sheep and not dog," the meat trader said.
He alleged that Kerehalli wanted to make money by levelling false accusation.
Due to the commotion, a large number of people gathered there, and seeing the situation, police have been deployed.
