“We got information that some people were selling samosas from a house using cow meat,” stated Panna Momaya, the deputy commissioner of police in Vadodara. During our raids, we confiscated 152 kg of samosa stuff, 113 kg of meat, and 61 kg of samosas.”
According to Momaya, the shop’s owners lacked a license from either the food safety department or the municipal corporation. “They were selling these samosas across the city without mentioning to their customers,” according to the DCP.
In 2017, the Gujarat Animal Preservation Act was modified by the state government. The new act stipulates that killing cows will result in a life sentence and a fine of Rs 1–5 lakh.
