At a time when the debate over incidents of cow vigilantism in Gujarat and other parts of the country is fresh, a 24-year-old man was allegedly stopped and questioned by some men in Mumbai who suspected that the leather bag he was carrying was made of cowhide.
The incident took place in suburban Andheri on Friday. As he shared his experience on social media and it went 'viral', Mumbai police on Sunday said they have started an enquiry.
“All such actions will be dealt with strictly as per the law,” Mumbai Police's spokesperson, DCP Ashok Dudhe said.
“We have started an enquiry to identify those involved and will take up investigation immediately after getting an approval of the metropolitan magistrate,” he added.
