HARDA — A Muslim woman was stopped and questioned at the Harda railway station in Madhya Pradesh after some people suspected that she was carrying beef, leading to a tense situation and claims of harassment.
The incident took place at the railway station premises, where confusion and panic were reported as people gathered around the woman. According to available information, some individuals approached her based on a tip-off that beef was being brought to the station.
The woman, identified as Zahida from Khandwa district, was found carrying bags containing around 30 kilograms of meat. Before the police could intervene, she was stopped and questioned by the group, which led to a heated situation.
Passengers present at the station said the scene quickly turned tense. One eyewitness said, “People suddenly gathered and started questioning the woman. Some passengers got scared and moved away from the area.”
According to Zahida, the meat she was carrying was buffalo meat, not beef. She said she had brought it from Burhanpur after visiting a relative who had passed away.
Explaining her situation, Zahida said, “I needed money for my daughter’s treatment. That is why I brought the meat to sell. This is the first time I have done this.”
She also mentioned that another woman, identified as Rahat, was travelling with her. Zahida said Rahat fled the scene when the situation became tense and left her bag behind.
