Bengaluru, July 26: Tension prevailed at the Bengaluru City Railway Station when a consignment of meat weighing about three tonnes loaded in about 150 cartons reached here from Jaipur in a train on Friday night, railway sources said. Puneeth Kerehalli, a cow vigilante, earlier jailed on murder charge, claimed it was dog meat. Dog Meat Served as Mutton in Bengaluru?

However, meat dealer Abdul Razzaq, who had ordered the meat, dismissed the charge. The consignment was ordered legally and it is not dog meat but sheep meat, he said. "We have legal documents to prove it. One can see the tail of the animal that was slaughtered. It's sheep and not dog," the meat trader said.
