Delhi police 'raid' at Kerala House on a complaint its canteen served 'beef' persisted on Wednesday.

Delhi: Hindu Sena leader Vishnu Gupta was arrested by Delhi Police on Wednesday.

He has been arrested for allegedly making false complaint on beef being served at Kerala House in the national capital, as per media reports.

Earlier, he had been detained by Delhi police.

Meanwhile, the row over Delhi police 'raid' at Kerala House on a complaint its canteen served 'beef' persisted today with the state government threatening legal action if the Centre does not admit that it was a "mistake" even as buffalo meat was back on the menu.

Maintaining that the Delhi police action on Monday has affected Centre-State relations, the Kerala Cabinet at its meeting today discussed the matter and decided to take legal course if the Centre also stuck to the explanation given by Delhi police that "they only did their duty and carried out an inspection in accordance with law", as per PTI.

"The raid conducted without the permission of state officials at the state-run official guest house crossed all limits of propriety, violated law and also affected Centre-State relations," Chief Minister Oommen Chandy told reporters after the meeting in Thiruvananthapuram.
