Two held in Doddaballapur for offering meat with flowers at temple
Doddaballapur: Doddabelavangala police officers have taken into custody two men who had hidden chunks of meat in the garlands they had gotten to Sri Shanimahatme Temple in Kanasavadi on Saturday.
The arrested men have been identified as Kambalahalli Raju of Hoskote taluk and Somashekhar, an auto rickshaw driver from Whitefield, the police have said, adding that the arrested had handed similar garlands, containing meat chunks, to the temple a month ago too.
The temple staff members had received the covers containing the garlands a month earlier. When they opened the covers a couple of hours later, to be used during the prayer rituals, the staff discovered the meat amidst the flowers in the garlands.
The CCTV camera footage showed the accused duo at the temple earlier, yet, the Doddabelavangala police officers had failed to arrest the men.
On Saturday, however, when Raju and Somashekhar revisited the Kanasavadi Temple to deliver the garlands, they were caught red-handed by the temple staff members, who were on watch for the duo.
A case has been registered at the Doddabelavangala Police Station, Bengaluru Rural district, investigation is underway.
