Bhopal police have uncovered shocking details in the case of 26 tons of beef seized on the night of December 17 in front of the Police Headquarters.

He was questioned for around 16 hours by two officers from Thursday to Friday night. Aslam is reportedly misleading the police and refusing to admit that the seized meat belonged to him. He told investigators that the meat was only packed at his slaughterhouse but actually belonged to a well-known agro-food company in Agra.

Truck driver Shoaib has also provided key information. He admitted receiving 10,000 to 15,000 rupees per trip but claimed he did not know the container was carrying beef.

In the case of cows being slaughtered and beef being sent to Mumbai from the Municipal Corporation’s slaughterhouse located in Jinsi, the direct role of the Municipal Corporation administration has come to light. The letter issued by the Municipal Corporation’s veterinary officer, on the basis of which permission was given to take the meat out of the slaughterhouse, has also surfaced. Permission related to starting the slaughterhouse was given by the MIC. This proposal was not even brought before the council. Due to this, Veterinary Doctor Beni Prasad Gaur was suspended by Divisional Commissioner Sanjeev Singh. These employees were suspended from the slaughterhouse
Waseem Khan, Salim Khan, Raja Khan, Sheikh Yusuf, Waheed Khan, Mohammad Fayyaz Khan, Isa Mohammad, and Abdul Rahman, who were deployed at the slaughterhouse, have been suspended.
