Gujarat Police conducted a raid on a samosa shop beef-stuffed samosa in Vadodara, resulting in the arrest of six individuals, including Yusuf and Naeem Sheikh, for selling beef-stuffed samosa. The raid, which took place at ‘Huseni Samosa’ in the Chhipwad area, led to the seizure of the stock. It was revealed during the police investigation that the shop owners were operating without a license.
Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) tests were performed on hundreds of kilograms of beef-stuffed samosas seized during the raid. The police acted on information provided by local animal activist Neha Patel, who informed them about the shop’s popularity and its alleged sale of beef-filled samosas. Patel’s tip-off prompted the police raid.

DCP Panna Momaya stated that the FSL tests confirmed the presence of beef in the samosa filling, leading to the booking and arrest of six individuals, including the shop owners and employees. The accused were identified as Yusuf and Naeem Sheikh, along with Hanif Bhathiyara, Dilawar Pathan, Moin Habdal, and Mobin Sheikh. Authorities believe that many residents of the city consumed these beef samosas.
DCP Momaya explained that the shop owners prepared the uncooked samosas in large quantities daily and supplied them to various shops across the city for frying and sale. The accused operated from a five-story facility, with one room converted into a deep freezer for storing beef and other meats. Yusuf Sheikh informed the police that he joined his father’s samosa business, but investigations revealed that they did not have a license for their operation.
The police are now investigating how long Huseni Samosa has been selling beef-filled samosas. The six accused were remanded into one-day police custody by the court.
This incident is reminiscent of a similar case reported in Gujarat the previous year. In May 2023, Surat Police booked Ismail Yusuf and another individual for selling beef-stuffed samosas and cow slaughter. Yusuf operated a snack shop in Kosadi village and was found selling beef samosas to unsuspecting customers. The police seized 2 kg of beef samosas from a suspicious auto rickshaw and arrested Ismail Yusuf.
Yusuf confessed to purchasing beef and using it to stuff the samosas he sold. The FSL certificate confirmed the presence of cow meat in the seized samosas, leading to the registration of an FIR against the accused by the Gujarat police.
