Village Pradhan Booked for Distributing 'Non-Veg' Biryani
Imagine a village where some people were dealing with floods, and on a religious holiday called Janmashtami, they were given food to eat.
Some people were fasting for the holiday.
The food given out was biryani, which is like a rice and meat dish.
However, it had meat in it, which some people who were fasting did not want to eat.
When they found out, they got upset.
The person giving out the food allegedly got angry and said mean things instead of apologizing.
Because of this, the police got involved, and the people who gave out the food are now in trouble.
A village pradhan and others were booked for distributing biryani containing meat to flood victims during Janmashtami.
Local residents, many fasting for Janmashtami, objected upon finding meat in the biryani.
The village pradhan allegedly verbally abused those who objected to the food.
An FIR was filed against the pradhan and his associates under various sections of the BNS.
