A case has been registered against a YouTuber for allegedly uploading a video on ‘peacock curry recipe’ on his channel, in Rajanna Sircilla district.

The YouTuber, apparently to garner more views for his channel, resorted to the act, a forest official said based on preliminary investigation.

Upon receiving information that a man posted a video on his channel on how to cook peacock curry, a team of forest officials reached Tangallapalli village and recovered chicken curry from the man’s house.

However, the curry sample has been sent to a lab for forensic analysis and investigation was on. A case was registered against the man on Sunday.

After animal rights activists raised the issue, the video was taken down.
