A dog’s severed head was found inside the fridge in the same factory in Mataur where food items were destroyed on Sunday. Also, some meat was found in the utensils. These have been confiscated. Momos and spring rolls were made in this factory and supplied to many places. Now it will be investigated whether the dog’s meat was put in the momos and fed to people or the artisans working here ate it themselves. Part of this dog’s body is missing. The head is also not complete, the part found looks like the head of a pug. The head has been sent to the Veterinary Department for examination. Frozen chopped meat and a crusher machine have also been found in the factory. Samples of momos, spring rolls and red chutney have also been sent to the lab for examination. Officials say that all the samples have been sent for examination. Further action will be taken only after their report comes.
