The district authorities and police conducted a joint raid and reportedly shut down the slaughterhouses of those who were operating slaughterhouses without licenses.
Seven illegal slaughterhouses were sealed in Bihar’s Rohtas district after the Patna High Court directed them be sealed within six weeks.
The BJP manifesto for the assembly polls had said that all illegal slaughter houses would be closed and there would be a blanket ban on all mechanised slaughter houses.
The incident comes close on the heels of some slaughter houses being sealed in Uttar Pradesh after the BJP government led by Yogi Adityanath was sworn in.
The Amnesty International report referred to the killings as a “calculated campaign of extrajudicial execution”.
