As a long-time resident of India and an ardent follower of local cuisine, I must say that Kumar’s peacock curry escapade has certainly stirred up quite a storm. It’s not every day you hear about someone trying to cook up something as exotic as that!
Kumar, a digital kitchen maestro from Telangana, India, recently uploaded a video showcasing his culinary skills in preparing a dish he called “traditional peacock curry”. It seems that Kumar’s attempt to serve up a unique gastronomic experience has instead landed him in a pot of legal trouble.
YouTube Chef Cooks Up Trouble With Peacock Curry
After his viral video led to his arrest, it appears that Kumar may have found himself in trouble under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, which protects India’s national bird, the peacock, from being used as food. The authorities are now investigating Kumar’s curry for potential illegal use of peacock meat. They have sent samples of the curry and Kumar’s blood to a lab for forensic analysis. If the results confirm that the curry contained peacock meat, Kumar could face penalties including a substantial fine and possible imprisonment.
Kumar’s cooking journey might have been a bit too daring for his benefit. The peafowl boasts one of the highest levels of legal preservation in India. It is absolutely illegal to hunt, kill, or trap these birds, with violators facing a minimum sentence of three years and up to seven years imprisonment, along with a hefty fine.
In the midst of Kumar’s case being processed through the legal system, animal rights advocates and online users have united to demand strong measures, conveying a firm stance that: regardless of its uniqueness, there are certain components in every recipe that should never be used.
