Bhiwandi police seized a car carrying approximately 500 kilograms of suspected beef on Friday morning. The driver, 22-year-old Shahid Khan from Kurla East, was arrested and is accused of attempting to run over a policeman while trying to evade capture. The incident occurred around 5 am near the Ganpati temple on Kariwali Road in Bhiwandi.
Initially, police officer Amol Salunkhe signaled the driver to stop, but the driver instead accelerated towards Salunkhe, narrowly missing him. Police pursued the vehicle, intercepting it near the Murlidhar Temple on Dargah Road. During a search, they found the meat, which they identified as beef. Khan is alleged to have been involved in procuring meat from slaughtered cattle and transporting it illegally for sale.
Police have registered a case against him under multiple laws, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Maharashtra Animal Preservation Act, and the Motor Vehicles Act. They are continuing efforts to trace the other accused and establish the meat's source and intended destination.
