MP: Seized flesh samples sent for analysis

Dhar (MP), Jan 29: Samples of 175 tonnes of flesh, seized in this district on January 27 and suspected of being beef, were today sent to a laboratory in Gandhinagar for analysis.

Police said 12 containers carrying the flesh were seized following a protest by some Hindu organisations' workers. Local veterinarians analysed the flesh but were unsure whether it was beef.

The flesh was being illegally transported from Uttar Pradesh's Sahibabad to Mumbai. Chaos had prevailed for about half an hour after the containers were seized.
