At least three people were arrested in Mumbai after a video showing a sacrificial goat with ‘Ram’ inscribed on its skin is going viral on social media. The meat shop from where the goat was purchased was also shut down.
The goat, which had ‘Ram’ written on it, was intended for sale in Belapur on the occasion of Eid ul-Adha, commonly known as Bakrid.
According to India Today, the meat shop was sealed after Bajrang Dal activists went to the police to file a complaint in connection to the matter.
The police have so far arrested three men — Mohammad Shafi Sheikh, Sajid Shafi Sheikh and Kuyyam.
They have been charged under Sections 295(A) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code for hurting religious sentiments, as well as under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched into the matter.
