No evidence to prove cow meat in biryani at AMU, say police

A preliminary probe has found “no evidence” to suggest that cow meat was served at Aligarh Muslim University’s college canteen as was claimed by some right wing groups, police said.

“A police team led by the Station House Officer, Civil Lines Police Station, visited Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College’s canteen immediately after receiving complaints by some right wing organisations that beef being served there,” enior Superintendent of Police K Ravindra Gaur said.

“However, the team found no incriminating evidence whatsoever to suggest that any banned food item was being served in the canteen,” Gaur said.

The row broke out after ring wing activists alleged that ‘beef biryani’ was being served at the AMU Medical College canteen, an allegation promptly denied by the university.
