Tension had gripped parts of Karol Bagh area in central Delhi yesterday after dismembered parts of an animal were found in a park, with claims that these belonged to a cow.

A case has been registered and investigation has been taken up, a senior police officer said.

RSS volunteers said recurrence of such incidents in the area was feared to be an attempt to disturb communal harmony.
