Kapil Sibal’s Wife Promilaa Is The BIGGEST Exporter of BEEF In India ! Thus the Tweet on Tunda kebab by Kapil Sibal

 

Our Analysis – As per research by our team, the image that is being circulated is photoshopped. Neither Kapil nor his wife Promilaa is present in the image. It is picture of French female butcher Stephanie Gerbie. You can read the article published in Washington post - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/05/AR2007060502370.html

As per the news about slaughter house, it is correct that Promilaa used to run this slaughter house. As per livemint, she used to run this even before her marriage with Kapil Sibal - http://www.livemint.com/Specials/78oG6GkaGirhxwWgBn4VvL/The-business-interests-of-Kapil-Sibal.html

Earlier, the name of the slaughter house was Arihant Exports, but after the Jain community protested against the name, it was changed to Arshiya Exports Pvt.

If you look at the corporate directory of Arshiya Exports then you can get below information –

It looks like the slaughter house is involved in officially slaughtering of large number of cows on a daily basis. Still, we are not sure if it the largest in India. As per the news from Indian Express - http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/at-asias-largest-abattoir-butchers-fear-livelihood-loss-as-beef-ban-sets-in/

Deonar abattoir in Mumbai’s central suburbs is one of Asia’s largest slaughterhouses.

Even Subramanian Swamy‏ had updated his post in Twitter regarding this –

 

Conclusion – The image used to represent Promilaa is fake but the news is correct that Sibal’s are running one the largest slaughter houses in India.
