Bengaluru City Police had to firefight a news from a major news website which had reported about a protest against cattle sale purchase order which may harm the business of some entities.

Cattle slaughter has become a point of debate in India ever since a cow was slaughtered in Kerala to protest against what is being perceived as the Beef Ban.

The news portal had issued a flash which read:

Some people, however, had doubts on this piece of news and decided to ask the Bengaluru City Police to verify the information. A Twitter user asked the Twitter handle of the Bengaluru City Police if the protest in Bengaluru is for ‘real.’
