The parts of the animal were allegedly noticed by RSS volunteers who reached the park at Kishanganj railway colony to hold their ‘shakha’ on Friday morning, according to local RSS leader Vagish Issar.

Police reached the spot and took into possession the animal parts for analysis.

A case has been registered and investigation has been taken up, said a senior police officer.

However, police were tight-lipped about the incident, saying it was a “sensitive” matter and was being probed.

Police was deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident and senior officers urged people to maintain peace and avoid “rumour mongering”.

Police from central and north districts were sent to the spot and the situation was “peaceful” although people were “apprehensive” of the incident, said the officer.

“The volunteers who reached the park at 6am found pieces of an animal and informed the police. This is third such incident in the past few months,” said Issar.

The RSS volunteers said they fear recurrence of such incidents in the area could be an attempt to disturb communal harmony.
