Police Arrest Two for Cow Urine AIDS 'Cure'
Fri Jul 12, 9:17 AM ET
CALCUTTA, India (Reuters) - Indian police said on Friday they had arrested two men in Calcutta accused of selling bottles of cow urine mixed with cow dung and claiming they were cures for AIDS cancer and tuberculosis.
Sivaji Ghosh, deputy commissioner of Calcutta police, told Reuters the men were arrested after a complaint to police by drug control authorities.
"They were selling these bottles for everything under the sun," Ghosh said. "It was a bit surprising to see this happening in a big city. In villages, quacks sell a lot of things as medicines or having medicinal value."
Police said they had filed a First Information Report, paving the way for an investigation, after seizing dozens of bottles from a shop.
Ghosh said people were paying around 600-700 rupees ($12-$14) for each bottle.
India's majority Hindu population regards the cow as sacred.
