After a branch of a restaurant chain in the Bangladeshi capital faced accusations it served dog meat, a video circulated in Facebook posts that falsely claimed it showed the rescue of pups from"Dhaka restaurants". The video in fact shows a canine smuggling operation busted in the Indian state of Assam, not Bangladesh. Meanwhile, an investigation found no evidence of dog meat in the restaurant's food.
Trading dog meat is illegal in Bangladesh and dog meat is prohibited in Islam -- which is the country's majority religion.The video, which racked up more than 610,000 views, shows dogs packed in gunny sacks. Next to them, a group of young men are seen interrogated by people off-camera.
Nayan Das, assistant secretary of Ashroy-Karimganj, confirmed the video shows a smuggling operation transporting dogs from Algapur in Assam to Mizoram that was busted on May 22. "Based on a tip-off about the smuggling, we thwarted the smuggling with the help of Sporsho Animal Welfare Group of Silchar and the Assam Police," Das told AFP.https://www.youtube.com/embed/bHNimjTpxd8
