Tension gripped parts of Karol Bagh area on Friday after dismembered parts of an animal were found in a park, with claims that these belonged to a cow. The cut parts of the animal were allegedly noticed by the RSS volunteers who reached the park at Kishanganj railway colony to hold their “shakha” on Friday morning, according to local RSS leader Vagish Issar.
The police reached the spot and took into possession the animal parts for analysis. A case has been registered, said a police official. However, the police was tight-lipped about the incident, saying it was a “sensitive” matter and was being probed. The police was deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident and senior officers urged people to maintain peace and avoid “rumour mongering”. Personnel from central and north districts were sent to the spot and the situation was “peaceful” although people were “apprehensive” of the incident, said the officer.
“The volunteers who reached the park for ‘shakha’ at 6 am found the cut pieces of cow there and informed the police. This is third such incident in past few months,” said Mr Issar.
The RSS volunteers said that recurrence of such incident in the area was feared by them to be an attempt to disturb communal harmony.
