In another case in which videos uploaded by YouTubers landed them in controversy, a case was registered against a man for allegedly sharing a video on "peacock curry recipe" on his channel, in Rajanna Sircilla district of Telangana.
Based on preliminary investigation, the YouTuber - Kodam Pranay Kumar - resorted to the act to garner more views for his channel, news agency PTI quoted a forest official as saying.
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 was 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 also taken down.
