An FIR has been launched after six carcasses were found in Mumbai’s Thane region. It has come to light that the slaughtered animal remains, allegedly of cattle, have been found dumped in a jungle area in Maharashtra's Thane district.

After local people found out about this matter, they immediately took the matter to the police. Locals, while prompting Mumbai police to consider the matter seriously, an FIR was launched against six persons, an official said on Wednesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, a man who was passing by suddenly spotted the carcasses lying in the open at the spot in Kanhere village near the Ambernath area. However, as soon as the man noticed the carcasses lying on the road, he alerted Kulgaon Police Station and several people in the locality. A local activist associated with a right-wing outfit lodged a police complaint on Tuesday itself and urged the officials to act on this matter solemnly.
