Guwahati: A controversy has erupted in Assam's Bajali district after suspected banned meat was allegedly discovered at a private automobile dealership in Pathsala. The incident occurred at Poddar Car World when two employees, identified as Shah Alam and Sirajul Haque of the Barpeta district, were eating on the premises.
Members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and fellow employees confronted the pair after becoming suspicious about the food. The situation caused significant tension in the area as word of the encounter spread among local residents. Police seized the meat, which they suspect is beef, though they are waiting for formal laboratory confirmation.
This incident follows recent restrictions on cattle sacrifice implemented by the Bajali district administration. The timing of the discovery has intensified public interest and scrutiny. Local community members are now calling for a comprehensive investigation and firm legal consequences if regulations have been violated.
The VHP has officially urged authorities to conduct a thorough inquiry into the event. Officials have yet to provide a detailed statement on the progress of the case, noting that future actions depend on the results of the forensic testing.
