Bhopal Slaughterhouse Probe Expands to Past Cow Slaughter Cases
Police in Bhopal are investigating a case where they suspect cows were slaughtered and their meat was mixed with buffalo meat at a city slaughterhouse.
They haven't found direct evidence yet, so they are looking into past cases of cow slaughter and the people involved.
The investigation is focusing on areas like Jinsi, Jahangirabad, and Islampura, where some people were previously arrested for cow slaughter.
The police believe these individuals might be connected to the current case and are trying to find out if they supplied the banned meat.
Police are investigating an alleged cow slaughter case linked to the Bhopal Municipal Council (BMC) slaughterhouse in Jinsi.
CCTV footage from the slaughterhouse did not yield direct evidence of cow slaughter, leading police to suspect the meat was procured from outside.
Investigators are examining past cow slaughter cases and individuals previously arrested for such offenses.
Areas under scrutiny include Jinsi, Jahangirabad, and Islampura, where several people were arrested in past cow slaughter cases.
Police believe individuals active in cow slaughter and smuggling may be involved in supplying banned meat via the slaughterhouse.
