The administration of Khargone district in Madhya Pradesh invoked the National Security Act (NSA) against three people arrested in connection with alleged cow slaughter near Moghat village four days ago, officials said.

“We received information four days ago that a few people were involved in cow slaughter near Moghat. When the police arrived, the accused fled from the spot. The police team found the carcasses,” Khandwa Superintendent of Police Siddharth Bahuguna said.

The police said they had reached the spot based on a tip-off that they had received.

The police passed on the information to the district administration, which asked the police to invoke the NSA against the accused. After an investigation, Raju, Shakil and Azam were arrested, the police said.
