Bajrang Dal members protest against Bhopal mayor over beef seizure
BHOPAL: (Jan 21) Bajrang Dal members on Wednesday protested outside Bhopal Mayor Malti Rai’s residence over the recent seizure of beef in the city, and blackened her photo and nameplate, accusing civic authorities of trying to shield cow smugglers.
During the protest, Bajrang Dal workers also raised slogans against mayor Rai, who is a leader from the ruling BJP, and demanded her resignation.

Initially, it was claimed to be buffalo meat, but a test at a government laboratory in Mathura concluded that the seized meat was from cow or its progeny, they said.
