Mysuru: Mysuru Police on Sunday detained two persons for allegedly carrying beef to the ‘beef fest’ organized by Mysuru Dalit Welfare Trust in Mysuru on Sunday.

The event was organised at Town Hall to protest against the public flogging of Dalits in Una, Gujarat last month.  The trust said that they would have a dish made of cow-meat, and not that of any other bovine. However, it is said that  the organisers had not been granted permission for the festival. The Mysuru Police detained two people for carrying beef to Town Hall.

The Una incident shot into national spotlight where a group of Dalit individuals were brutally thrashed in public for allegedly skinning a cow which was already dead.
