Summary:
“Beef and skeleton was recovered from the spot,” said Tiwari.On being asked whether the meant sample was sent for tests, Tiwari said it wasn’t. When asked how he concluded the seized meat was beef, Tiwari said, “Civil surgeon has confirmed it.It is after the confirmation that the injured was booked under cow slaughter prohibition Act”. They were produced before a court on Saturday.Police have also booked the injured under cow slaughter prohibition Act merely on a verbal assessment by government doctor that the meat may be of beef. A civil surgeon is a qualified MBBS doctor who treats humans, but is not an expert to identify meat. Laboratory tests should be done to ascertain whether it was beef or not, say experts..
