Karnataka HM G Parameshwara refutes dog meat rumours, confirms railway station consignment contained goat meat

Days after a few Hindutva activists alleged that a large consignment of dog meat was brought from Rajasthan to Bengaluru, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday asserted that laboratory reports have confirmed that the consignment contained goat meat.

Hindutva activist Puneeth Kerehalli and his associates had created a ruckus near the city railway station when the consignment of meat arrived alleging that it was dog meat. They targeted meat dealer Abdul Razzaq, who had ordered the consignment.

Razzaq had then said, “We bring meat from Rajasthan because there is less consumption but more production. For us, it fetches good profit as there is less demand.”
