The North Zone Task Force team of Hyderabad police and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officers seized 500 kilograms of rotten chicken from a shop in Secunderabad Market area, uncovering an alleged illegal supply chain linked to wholesalers.
Acting on a tip-off, officials raided a local poultry shop on Thursday (February 13, 2025) and discovered large quantities of rotten chicken, which was allegedly being distributed to various businesses. “They were allegedly supplying the meat to local bars, restaurants and carts in Secunderabad,” said an officer.
Officials have warned that consuming such meat poses serious health risks. The seized chicken has been destroyed, and investigations are ongoing to identify others involved in the operation.

The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) whether it would fulfil the poll promise of providing free LPG cylinders to women on Holi. Hitting back, the ruling party asked AAP why had it not kept its word on disbursing ₹1,000 to women for which it had allocated ₹2,000 crore in the 2024-25 budget. Meanwhile, Delhi government sources said officials are preparing a blueprint of the proposal and that the criteria for the beneficiaries is yet to be decided. The BJP had promised to provide LPG cylinders for ₹500 to women from poor families and one free cylinder each on Holi and Deepavali ahead of the February 5 Assembly election.
