Maneka to recommend CBI inquiry against Belagavi police

Belagavi: Union women and child development minister and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi visited one of the most chilly storage units under the police lens on Thursday. This follows alleged state of no activity of police and other departments in opposition to three chilly storage units in Auto Nagar here which were raided on Monday night time.
She ordered cops to damage the lock of the Seven Star Agro and Cold Storage Unit and inspected where. Although house owners of the units declare those are for storing agricultural merchandise, together with processed meat, for an extended period, she found a number of skeletons of farm animals and skin fragmented farm animals, but even so a large quantity of processed meat.

The Monday raid adopted information via volunteers of the Gau Gyan Foundation. Police registered a case but did not take any motion. Maneka Gandhi took police and other officers to process for it. She mentioned she’d counsel to the Union home ministry a CBI inquiry be carried out in opposition to cops and officials of well being and veterinary departments for planned state of no activity. She also alleged that officers hadn’t carried out a correct investigation and failed to do so following drive from local politicians and accepting bribes from unit house owners.

She mentioned, “It looks as if cows are being slaughtered and processed on a large scale in those units.” She added that she had information that many Bangladeshi women were working in the units. She mentioned such men and women will have to be taken into custody right away.

Opposition chief Jagadish Shettar, MPs Pralhad Joshi, Suresh Angadi, Rajya Sabha member Prabhakar Kore, MLA Sanjay Patil and other local BJP leaders were present.

Police make Maneka wait

Police officers made the minister wait for just about 45 minutes to open the doors of the chilly storage units.


Before her arrival, Pralhad Joshi, Jagadish Shettar, Prabhakar Kore and Suresh Angadi attempted to convince police officers to open the gate of the unit but officers mentioned they couldn’t do it as the the case is under investigation.


When Maneka went to the spot, she ordered DCP Mahaning Nandaganvi and ACP Shankar Marihal to open the primary gate. After 15 minutes, DCP Seema Latkar came to the spot and opened the gate.


Maneka insisted the storeroom, sealed via police on Monday, be opened. Pralhad Joshi referred to as town police commissioner DC Rajappa and conveyed the request, which was denied. Joshi warned that such behaviour was not honest. She told police officers they might face the music and he or she was able to take a seat there for 24 hours, if needed. Over 30 minutes later, police broke the lock following the commissioner’s order.
