Police officers in Nepal are in trouble for allegedly operating a butcher's shop from their station.

Officers in the station, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, are accused of taking livestock from members of the public and killing and carving up the animals to be sold.

“We have transferred the officer in charge for his failure to execute his police duties properly.”

"Locals used to bring their goats and the police personnel helped them to slaughter them," admitted Dhiraj Pratap Shah, Deputy Superintendent of Kathmandu Police.

"There was empty ground and easy availability of water in the police station. Goat meat was sold by locals from the police station area."

Junior police officers in Kathmandu earn just £72 a month and many top up their salaries with second jobs, reports the Daily Telegraph.

But the 10 officers under investigation claim they were not charging and were helping out as a service to the community.

"We have transferred the officer in charge for his failure to execute his police duties properly," said Dep Supt Shah. "He is supposed to maintain law and order."
