As the controversy surrounding adulterated ghee supplied to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) in Andhra Pradesh refuses to die down, a similar incident has been alleged to have happened in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where Bajrang Dal members claimed that non-vegetarian ingredients were mixed into vegetarian dishes at a local eatery.

The police reported that the incident occurred at Kanpur’s “Mama Bhanje” restaurant in Saket Nagar where Bajrang Dal members alleged that meat was included in dishes such as veg biryani and kebabs. “After receiving complaints that non-veg ingredients were mixed with veg food offered by the restaurant, Bajrang Dal activists arrived at the location and began protests, demanding an immediate investigation into the incident,” the police said.

“They (Bajrang Dal members) also attempted to escalate the situation, but officials intervened and urged them to refrain from taking the law into their own hands,” the police added.
