A student of Delhi University has been booked by the Gurugram Police after a video of him feeding meat-filled momos to a cow went viral. The incident, which took place in the Sector-56 police station area, sparked outrage among Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) activists, who lodged a formal complaint alleging that the act had hurt religious sentiments.
The Incident And Viral Video
The controversy stems from a video recorded on December 7, which is approximately four minutes long.
The Content: The accused was live-streaming on a social media app, attempting to complete a "task" involving eating momos. In the video, he is seen explicitly asking the vendor if the momos contained chicken. Once the vendor confirmed they were non-vegetarian, a cow approached the young man. Instead of finishing the food himself, he extended the plate of leftover chicken momos to the cow.
