Police raid illegal cattle slaughterhouse in Vejalpur
Ahmedabad Police conducted a raid on an illegal cattle slaughterhouse near Sonal Cinema in the Vejalpur area, where officials seized nearly 520 kilograms of suspected cow meat and rescued a live calf. The operation was carried out after police received specific intelligence about unlawful cattle slaughter activities taking place at the location.
During the raid, police recovered slaughtering equipment and a large quantity of meat from the premises. Three accused were arrested on the spot, while six others allegedly involved in the operation are currently absconding and being traced by authorities.
The seized meat has been sent for forensic and veterinary examination to determine its origin. Police have registered a case under relevant provisions of the Gujarat Animal Preservation Act and other applicable laws.
Investigators are also examining whether the illegal slaughterhouse was linked to a wider network involved in unlawful cattle slaughter and meat supply across Ahmedabad. Officials said the investigation is ongoing and further raids and arrests are expected in the coming days.
