Latehar (Jharkhand), Mar 19 (PTI): Five persons were arrested today in connection with the killing of two persons, who were found hanging from a tree in the district's Balumath area where prohibitory orders has been clamped.

"Five persons were arrested and search is on for three others," Latehar Superintendent of Police Anoop Birtharay told reporters.

A 32-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy were found hanging from a tree at Jhabbar village under Balumath police station yesterday.

The two had left their homes with animals for Tutilawa village in neighbouring Chatra district for the animal fair when the incident took place.

The SP said they were killed and then the bodies were hung from a tree to make it look like a suicide case.

The motive behind the killing was to loot their animals, he said.

The arrested persons were identified as Mithilesh Prasad Sahu, Pramod Sahu, Manoj Kumar Sahu, Manoj Sahu (same name) and Audhesh Sao, all of whom belong to Latehar district.

Meanwhile, prohibitory orders under section CrPC 144 has been clamped in the areas under Balumath police station.

The incident had triggered violence, leaving a sub-divisional officer and six policemen injured.

Jharkhand: Tension grips village as bodies of two cattle traders found hanging from tree

Latehar, Mar 19 (HT): Tension gripped Balumath in Jharkhand after two dead bodies, including one of a minor boy, were found hanging from a tree on Balumath-Herhanj road on Friday morning. One of the deceased was a cattle trader and the minor boy was the son of another cattle trader.

The victims were identified as Mazlum Ansari (32), a resident of Dumar Tola and Imteyaz Khan (13) son of Azad Khan, a resident of Arahara village. Both hailed from Herhanj police station in Latehar.

Villagers, who suspect people opposed to trading of cattle to be behind the double murder, blocked the Balumath-Chatra road with the dead bodies for more than three hours demanding action against the culprits.

Tempers flared and the situation turned violent as police tried to take the bodies for post-mortem, after efforts to persuade the protestors failed. The mob pelted stones, and the police responded with lathi-charge and fired in the air to disperse the crowd.

Several people, including sub-divisional magistrate Kamleshwar Narayan and assistant sub-inspector Shyamdev Mishra, were injured in the melee.

Family of the deceased said the two had left their homes on Friday with 10-12 cows and oxen to sell at the annual cattle fair at Tutilawa, under the Simaria police station in Chatra district. “We had lost telephonic contract with them around four in the morning and later we came to know about their murder,” one of the relatives told the police.

“The bodies were hanging on a tree...and their faces were covered with towels,” an eyewitness said.

Security forces were brought in to prevent further clashes. The Latehar superintendent of police, Anoop Birtharay, and deputy commissioner Ravishankar Shukla too were in Balumath on Friday to keep a tab on the situation, as the region has a history of communal violence.

Hindus and Muslims in the area had clashed over issues relating to consumption of beef three months ago.

The administration has been vigilant in Balumath since “save cow campaign” began in Jharkhand two years ago.

Birtharay, however, assured the situation was under control.

The district administration called a meeting of village elders in the evening to ensure peace in the area.

    Shocking and outrageous! First Dadri and now this incident. It never happened in the past but now, thanks to the ruling government, communal-minded people are taking law in their own hands. Is it a crime to trade the cows? Did the victims deserve such punishment? It can happen only in our country where some animals are more valuable than human beings.

Now he will be talking about the religion of Islam as a religion of charity since that religion teaches very strongly about charity but will not say a word against killing of the minorities through the great revival in the cow worship revolution spreading all over India at the cattle country of the 21st century.

    Modi may have been elected on the much touted promise of development by an aspirational, predominantly young India. However, he appears to be driven by only one agenda — the same agenda that has driven the Parivar for nearly a century

    irrespective to any ruling party ruled India, including Mr.Vajepayee, but there was a ethos of love and affection one each other of Indians, now with this Govt, it is became ridicules – we are killing our fellow citizen! Shame on us!

    RSS don't want this country of ours to prosper, but God shall help us through and shame the advocates of Failure, It is clear, Modi dig his own political grave by supporting these Fringe elements

    Government. So, the law has been changed, and cow worship would be legalized. Please drive carefully if you see any cow in the road. You can run over the poor goat or mad dogs or chicken or Lion or elephant, you are safe. Dadri-Jarkhand events will be repeating in India like the weekly shootings in the U.S.

    But in India, if every day Dadri is being repeated, or hanged bodies, that is not terrorism but the display of true patriotism.

    You must be appointed as the "Minister of Cattle Trade Eradication and the Creator of New Trade".

    This is like the Rs. 15 lakh/person black money share in India.

    Also you must put a total break to the export of beef. Wait and watch the outcome.

    BJP and RSS has no regrets for its own party MLA Ganesh Joshi ‘attacking police horse, breaking its leg’.
    The Muslims, Christians and Dalits are the prime target of this cow nationalism and the intolerance is growing against them.

    Beef is banned mostly in all the states...including kashmir. Still illegally killing cows for wrong reason. As considering to previous its declined to much extent. In coming days it will come down more.
    Volunteers are keeping watch on the same day n night. First find out which meat is exported. There is illegal activity in each and every field which fetch more money. Some burcurarts involved.

    Do you know that the export of beef from India is increasing every day as a foreign money earner. It brings more money than the T-shits, auto parts and motor cycle export of India export combined, according to a report of Wall St Journal recently.

    If you are honest with this cow matha love, march to New Delhi to stop all the meat export. What kind of double standard jungle raj is taking place in India under the aachi din Government.?

    Poor people can't be involved in cattle trade to feed the family, they are killed and hanged as cow matha sacrifice. Any justification for this human butchering?
