Mamata calls urgent meeting at Nabanna tomorrow, key administrative officials to attend
Police officials in Mathura UP have seized five cents of meat suspected to be beef. The meat was seized from a vehicle that the police stopped for inspection.
Police officials further informed that the seizure was made on a tip-off from some 'gaurakshaks' (cow vigilantes).
Superintendent of Police (city) Martand Prakash Singh said they received information from "gaurakshaks" that some people were allegedly bringing meat in a vehicle from Hathras.
Police accompanied by cow vigilantes reached the spot, stopped the vehicle and arrested one Salauddin of Hathras district while his accomplice, Aas Muhammad, a resident of Mathura, escaped.
The meat recovered appears to be beef and its sample has been sent for inspection for confirmation, Singh said.
The Uttar Pradesh government has banned the slaughter of animals and the sale of meat in 22 wards of Mathura city, which are within one and a half kilometer radius of Sri Krishna's birthplace, the SP added.
