Shab-e-Baraat, one of the most important festivals for the people of the Muslim community was marked on April 9 this year. Most festive celebrations are often marked with good feast and dishes. A woman in Bengaluru celebrated the festive occasion with some beef, but looks like someone could not see it. When the woman put up a picture of enjoying beef on the eve of Shab-e-Barat, a Twitter user reported her to Bangalore police. The woman did not budge but instead roasted the netizen, giving him back a befitting answer. If you are wondering whether beef consumption is legal here, a Bill to ban the slaughter has not been passed yet.
