Kerala police arrests 8 Youth Congress workers over ox killing
Kerala police on Thursday arrested 8 Youth Congress workers including former IYC Kannur Parliament constituency committee Rijil Makutty for killing an ox.
Makutty, Josey Kandathil and K Sharafuddin slaughtered a calf in Kannur last weekend in protest against Centre's decision to impose new restrictions on the trade of cattle meant for slaughter, triggering nationwide outrage.
A video was circulated of a group of men slaughtering the animal and then distributing its meat in the state's Kannur district.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has strongly condemned the act, calling it "thoughtless and barbaric."
