BJP's Ramachandra Gowda raised the issue during zero hour and informed the House that the dhabhas, situated on the outskirts of the City, were slaughtering dogs and serving its meat to the customers.

Congress member and noted cinema artiste Umashri endorsed Gowda's shocking revelation and pointed out that the dhabhas were serving 'dog biriyani' to its clientele.

The two members wished to know from the government whether dogs were safe for human consumption.

Minister for Transport Mallikarjun Kharge assured the assembly of action.
