Nashik, Mar 26: In the first case registered under the new beef ban law in Maharashtra, three persons have been booked for allegedly slaughtering calves in Malegaon town of the district and search is on to trace them.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a shack in Azad Nagar area, about 90 kms from here, and seized two heads of slaughtered calves and 150 kg of beef, assistant police inspector Shivaji Bantewad said today.
The new Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act, banning slaughter of bulls and bullocks, was enforced by the BJP-led Government on March 4.
Under the law, anyone found selling beef or possessing it can be jailed upto five years and fined Rs 10,000.
Offences have been registered against the accused-- Rashid alias Pandya, Hamid alias Lendi and Asif Talathi-- under the Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act, the police officer said.
Samples of the beef were sent to Mumbai for laboratory tests while the rest of it had been disposed of, he said.
Search is on to nab the three absconding persons, he said adding that further investigation is on.
The beef ban has triggered protests from some political and cultural outfits, arguing that it amounted to encroachment of individual choices and food habits of a large section of people, especially minority communities.
However, state Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar had yesterday defended the enforcement of the law holding that during the national movement, Mahatma Gandhi backed total ban on cow slaughter and even veteran Congress leaders like Motilal Vora supported the cause.
"Congress leader Motilal Vora and Gandhian Chandrashekhar Dharmadhikari had written to the state government seeking ban on cow slaughter. We liked the idea and accepted it," Mungantiwar said while replying to a two-day debate on state budget in the Assembly.

Mar 5: The fourteen Italians, who have tested positive for coronavirus, have been shifted to the Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon from an ITBP quarantine centre.
The hospital issued a statement on Thursday morning, saying these patients are housed on a completely separate floor, which has been quarantined and has no contact with the rest of the hospital.
There is a dedicated medical team wearing protective gear looking after these patients.All items used on the floor are isolated to that floor.

Twenty-one Italian tourists and their three Indian tour operators were shifted out from an ITBP quarantine centre here on Wednesday as they were exposed to novel coronavirus.
An affected Italian couple is being treated at Jaipur's SMS medical college.
Officials on Tuesday said the foreigners have been sent to a private hospital in Gurgaon and a centre in the national capital while the Indians have been transferred to the Safdarjung Hospital.
Fourteen Italians and an Indian (driver), who were in the same group as the affected Italian couple, tested positive for the virus as per information provided by the Health Ministry.
The Italian tourists and three Indians were admitted to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force centre in Chhawla on Tuesday.
The Centre already has 112 people, 76 Indians and 36 foreigners, since February 27 after they were evacuated by an Indian Air Force (IAF) plane from China's Wuhan, the epicentre of the deadly coronavirus.
The first samples of these 112 people had tested negative when reports came in last week.
