Just in: No apologies forthcoming there. The union home ministry has given a clean chit to the Delhi police on the beef raid at Kerala House on Monday. The home ministry briefed the prime ministers office on Tuesday about the raid at Kerala House in the new Delhi over allegations of beef being served at the state guesthouses canteen, an incident that triggered a political slugfest.


The PMO sought details from the home ministry, to which Delhi Police report, as the political storm sucked both the NDA government and the capitals police into it.


The Congress-led UDF government in Kerala threatened to take legal action over police 'raid' at Kerala House in New Delhi on complaints of cow meat being served there, if the "mistake" is not admitted, and said it has affected Centre-State relations.


The state cabinet at its meeting today discussed the issue and decided to take legal course if the Centre also sticks to the explanation given by Delhi police that "they only did their duty and carried out an inspection in accordance with the law," Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said.


The Kerala government asked the canteen to resume serving its popular buffalo meat dish from Wednesday . The canteen, open to the public, had temporarily taken its buffalo meat preparation off the menu after the police action. Buff (buffalo meat) was sold out in just 30 minutes.
