A person was arrested from Dankuni in West Bengal’s Howrah district on Monday for selling cow urine as “cure for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)”. Mamud Sheikh was selling cow urine at Rs. 400-500 per container since Monday morning at Chakundi in Dankuni. Charges of spreading disease in public and selling noxious drinks have been slapped against him.
Meanwhile, in Kolkata’s Jorasanko, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narayan Chattopadhyay was seen distributing cow urine and cow dung to people as cure for COVID-19. The BJP leader claimed that he believes the disease can be cured by drinking cow urine. He, however, said that it was his personal initiative and his party had nothing to do with it. Many local people were seen drinking it.
Trinamool Congress leader and Kolkata’s deputy Mayor Atin Ghosh has strongly condemned BJP for the incident. The BJP though clarified that the party had no connection in it.
