The Uttar Pradesh Police have arrested three women for allegedly cooking beef in a house at Kaushambi in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and recovered meat from the place, officials said on Saturday.

Police found out about prohibited cattle meat being cooked at a house in Panara Gopalpur village from an informer, they said.

"On seeing the police, four men fled through the village's narrow lanes," Police Super Satyanarayan Prajapat said.

Police said that upon entering the house, they found three women seated inside along with a vessel containing cooked meat and a transparent polythene bag containing raw meat. The women allegedly attempted to flee but were apprehended by women police personnel.

According to the SP, during questioning, the women allegedly admitted that the meat was beef brought home by some men in their family.

"Half of it was being cooked for consumption that day, while the remaining half had been kept for the next day," he said.

All the arrested women were residents of the village.

Police said 1 kg of raw meat and 1 kg of cooked meat, suspected to be beef, were seized from their possession.

A case was registered at Sarai Akil police station under relevant sections of the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act. After legal formalities, the accused were produced before a court, police said.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
