Two Arrested for Illegal Beef Transport in Maharashtra
Two men, Kaleem Sayyed and Faizan Qureshi, were caught by the police while carrying a large amount of beef in their car on the Mumbai–Nashik highway.
The police had a tip that these men were doing something illegal, so they stopped their car and found the beef.
The beef and the car were taken by the police, and the men were sent to jail for a few days while the police find out more about where the beef came from and where it was going.
The police think there might be a bigger group doing this illegally, so they are investigating further.
Two men, Kaleem Sayyed (43) and Faizan Qureshi (19), were arrested for allegedly transporting illegal beef in an Ertiga car on the Mumbai–Nashik highway.
The arrest was made near the Pimples area, opposite Bhoomi World, following a tip-off about illegal beef transportation.
Police seized approximately 300 to 350 kilograms of beef, worth around ₹2.52 lakh, along with the vehicle.
A case was registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Maharashtra Animal Preservation Act, 1995.
The accused were remanded to police custody until December 14 for further investigation into the source and destination of the beef.
