Cow vigilantes in Maharashtra hammer youths suspected of possessing beef


Nagpur, May 29 (IANS): A group of cow vigilantes attacked two youths of Malegaon town in Maharashtra's Washim district last week after suspecting them of possessing banned beef, police said on Monday.

Washim's Superintendent of Police Mokshada Patil told media persons that at least seven "gau rakshaks" have been booked as also the two youths who allegedly were found in possession of beef.

In the incident that occurred last Friday, the cow vigilantes brutally hammered the two youths before taking them to police.

Patil said samples of the meat collected from the duo have been sent to a government lab in Nagpur for analysis and ascertain whether it was beef or not.

"Nine persons have been arrested in connection with the incident. We have lodged two different complaints. The seven who attacked the two men have been charged and the other is against the due from whom the meat was recovered," Patil said.

Earlier over the weekend, a video clip of the alleged cow vigilants assaulting the two persons and accusing them of possessing cow meat, went viral on social media networks.

They were seen shouting slogans and forcing the duo to chant 'Jai Shri Ram', slapping, punching and kicking them repeatedly, and ordering them to come to the police station with them.

Last year, Maharashtra imposed a complete ban on the slaughter and sale of meat from bulls, bullocks and buffaloes - except water buffaloes.

However, as per a Bombay High Court ruling later, it is not illegal to eat or possess the meat of these animals here if brought from outside the the state.

    Our Indian government is giving some job to goonda unemployed youths..... Some time back these jobless youth were searching everyone's bags to check any plastic bags( Government banned plastic bags) now such people got opportunity to check or punish whoever carrying any meat..... Even fish, chicken, mutton..... They will doubt it is beef meat and thrash them. Police will arrest them and the Government will allow them to come out on bail.

    India for sure is in reverse gear after 70 years. If the country needs to move forward it should also have very forward thinking views with modern ideas and educated solutions to challenges. What is happening now is jungle raj with goonda laws. Another Pakistan in the making only slogans and outfit are different while assaulting an innocent.

    Possessing beef is a big crime? ... killing chicken, lamb , goat, duck is ok because they are not holy animals ? Only cows shouldn't be killed ? I'm eating whatever I want. Why isn't the government focusing on more serious issues like providing better health care, better education, proper waste management, keeping our women safe (oh I forgot, cows are more important, let women get raped, first we need Aadhar card for cows)
