Villagers said that a beef-laden container had overturned near Kiding village on the fringes of Kalahandi district two days back. They met the police and urged them to either shift the container from the place or bury the consignment as the stench was nauseating and preventing in their free movement in the area. They suspect foul play as the beef packets loaded in the container and those found near the bridge were similar in shape and size and demanded a proper investigation into the matter.
