Tension prevailed in the Isanpur area of Ahmedabad on Friday after a slaughtered bovine animal’s parts were found near a temple.
Local residents and Hindu organisations quickly called for a bandh in the area and demanded the arrest of those responsible for such act.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad local leader and former councillor Dakshesh Mehta led the protest and appealed to the local traders to support in the bandh.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Milap Patel told the media, “In the morning we received information that a cattle’s body parts were lying on the road, immediately a team reached the spot and conducted a panchnama. The parts have been sent to FSL to identify the cattle breed. Police have identified a few suspects and soon they will be rounded up and questioned. To ensure law and order in the area, police deployment and patrolling has been increased.”
