3 arrested over death of a man after being attacked by cow vigilantes

Despite producing the documents that the cow were purchased, the gau rakshaks affiliated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal had attacked the group as they suspected him of smuggling cows.

Three people were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the attack on a group of five men by cow vigilantes which led to the death of one man.

Pehlu Khan and others were injured after a mob attacked them as they suspected him of smuggling cows through Rajasthan. Khan succumbed to his injuries on Monday night.

According to the reports, Khan and others were returning from a fair in Jaipur where they had reportedly purchased a few cows.

The incident happened on April 1 after gau rakshaks affiliated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal stopped their vehicle on NH 8, alleging that they were illegally transporting cows.
