Case filed against Congress workers for slaughtering calf in Kerala

Kannur police has registered case against district president of Youth Congress and other Congress workers for slaughtering a calf in public view.

The case was registered under Section 120 (A) of the Kerala Police Act on Saturday when the incident happened.

The police filed the case on the basis of a video where the president of Youth Congress, Rigil Pookkutty and other Youth Congress workers could be seen slaughtering the calf.

The incident comes amid hue and cry over Centre’s new rule prohibiting sale of animals for slaughter or religious sacrifice at livestock markets and animal fairs.

Students’ Federation of India (SFI) yesterday staged a protest in Kerala against the ban by eating beef outside University College, Trivandrum.

Similar fest was also organised at different locations across Kerala.
