610 Kg Rotten Chicken Seized In Musheerabad
Expired licence, supplies to bars and restaurants uncovered; owner detained
Hyderabad: Warasiguda police on Tuesday found 610 kg of decomposed meat during a raid on A‑1 Fresh Chicken Mart in Musheerabad, and arrested its owner Shaik Shakeel who was selling the unhygienic frozen chicken meat to locals and petty vendors. “The chicken was stored in unhygienic conditions and appeared unfit for consumption,” said north zone DCP K. Rakshitha Krishna Murthy, following the raid.
Acting on credible information at around 1 pm, decoy staff inspected the shop and found meat in a decomposed state. Sub-inspector K. Rama Chandra Reddy, along with staff and independent mediators, conducted a search following due procedure. The team discovered frozen chicken emitting a foul smell, contaminated by rats and cats.
Police said the accused, Shaik Shakeel, had been negligent in handling food articles and knowingly offered them for sale despite being unfit for human consumption. Investigations revealed the shop’s trading licence had expired a year ago. Shakeel was produced before court and remanded to judicial custody.
