Shimla, Dec 13 (PTI) A goat was killed in a sacrifice in full view of the public in Rohru, about 110 km from Shimla here, police on Friday said.
An FIR was lodged in the matter on the complaint of a social worker.
The complainant, Surendra Papta, said that a goat was sacrificed on Shikhri Bridge near the New Bus Stand in Rohru.
A video that captured the alleged sacrifice showed up on social media and was shared widely.
It showed people witnessing the 'anusthan' (a ritual) in the presence of a deity with several vehicles stranded near the bridge.
Police said the video was old and since it was shot from a distance, it was difficult to identify the people.
Local Station House Officer Kamal said that an FIR, however, has been registered and an investigation is on.
