They said meat samples collected from the shop have been sent for forensic examination.

According to police, the complainant in the case is a 15-year-old boy, a resident of Vijay Nagar, who claimed that he bought meat for Rs 400 per kg from the shop of Chaman Kumar (44), a resident of Kaushik Enclave in Burari, and later suspected it to be cow meat.

After word spread about the sale of suspected cow meat, members of different organisations gathered outside Kumar’s shop and manhandled him. He is undergoing medical examination, police said.

A team was dispatched to the spot following a PCR call. CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being collected and reviewed to establish the sequence of events, they said.

“Meat samples have been seized from the shop and sent for forensic examination to determine whether it is cow meat,” a senior police officer said.

“We are investigating the matter from all angles. The forensic report is awaited. Police will take action based on its findings,” said the officer.
