Bhopal Cattle Remains Case: 3 Arrested After Suspected Slaughter Near Kaliyasot River, BMC Demolishes Dairy Amid Protests

Three men, including dairy owner Gabbar Yadav, were arrested on Friday morning in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, after suspected cattle remains were discovered at a dairy near the Kaliyasot River. The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) subsequently demolished the illegal structure in the presence of officials, despite protests from Hindu organization workers.

Police received information about the suspected slaughter at 4 am, and searched the premises, seizing the remains. Two additional suspects, Munna Yadav and Anees Khan, were also arrested. Hindu organization workers, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, Naya Bhopal, protested outside the Kolar police station, demanding strict action against the suspects, the removal of the dairy, and measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again.

The dairy had reportedly been operating illegally near the river for some time, despite previous municipal actions. Allegations suggest that operations resumed after prior enforcement efforts. Following the incident, the BMC removed the buffaloes and shifted 49 cattle from the scene to Arwaliya Kanji House, a cattle pound. Police are interrogating the three suspects to determine the fate of the remaining body parts and if there were others involved.

The seized remains are being examined by investigators, and additional action will depend on the results of the investigation and material analysis. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav participated in a human rangoli featuring India's map at Bhopal's TT Nagar Stadium.
