A row erupted on Wednesday over meat being found in a temple here but the matter ended after CCTV visuals conclusively proved it was a cat that tiptoed inside the shrine with what emerged later as mutton.<\/p>\n
The incident at Tappachabutra in the old city created a flutter before police concluded, based on video evidence that it was the cat that caused trouble.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, a protest was held after the piece of meat was found inside the Lord Shiva Temple in the Hanuman Temple premises under Tappachabutra Police Station.<\/p>\n
A release from Hyderabad Police said they received information on Wednesday morning that a piece of meat was found inside the temple premises.<\/p>\n
Police swung into action and senior officials visited the temple to assess the situation.<\/p>\n
The meat, weighing around 250 gram, was seized and it was subsequently found to be mutton, a police official said.<\/p>\n
Four teams were immediately formed to analyse CCTV footage from the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
During investigation, footage from one of the CCTV cameras near the temple clearly showed a cat carrying meat in its mouth and entering the temple premises, police said.<\/p>\n
The footage conclusively proved that the cat was responsible for placing the meat behind the Shiva Lingam, it said.<\/p>\n
In light of these findings, the police appealed to citizens to refrain from spreading rumours or misinformation regarding the incident.<\/p>\n
A temple committee member earlier told a TV channel that someone threw meat near the Shiva Lingam. Devotees who came for puja noticed it, he said.<\/p>\n
Local residents along with members of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) gathered in front of the temple and held a protest and raised slogans condemning the incident.<\/p>\n
A case was registered and police took up investigation.<\/p>\n
