The sacrifices were reportedly carried out consecutively as part of a traditional festival. The Organisers claimed it was a long-standing ritual, but animal rights activists lodged a complaint, terming it "brutal and inhuman" and alleging it violates animal protection laws.
According to the copy of the FIR, the organisers arranged and permitted the illegal sacrifice of goats by biting their necks with their mouths, causing extreme cruelty and suffering to the animals.
