Three men arrested for cooking meat on cremation pyre in Uttar Pradesh

Police in Shahjahanpur district have arrested three men for an alleged desecration at a cremation ground in Nathapur village. According to authorities, the accused were found cooking meat on a burning funeral pyre while consuming alcohol at the cremation site. The men reportedly placed cooking vessels directly on the active cremation fire to prepare the food.

Officials said the incident came to light when locals reported the unusual activity at the Puwayan cremation ground. Police responded to the complaint and apprehended the three suspects at the site. The exact charges and identities of the accused have not been disclosed by authorities.

The case has drawn attention to enforcement of regulations at cremation grounds in the region. Cremation sites in India are considered sacred spaces, and such conduct is viewed as deeply disrespectful to Hindu funeral practices and grieving families. Local administration has indicated it will review security measures at cremation facilities to prevent similar incidents.
