Ahmedabad: Man thrashed by suspected cow vigilantes, dies


Ahmedabad, Sep 17 (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who was allegedly thrashed by cow vigilantes on September 13, died at a hospital here today, police said.

Mohammad Ayyub Mev was admitted to V S Hospital after he was thrashed by unidentified persons on S G Highway on the night of September 13 after his car met with an accident.

A calf which he was allegedly carrying in the car died in the mishap. Ayyub's brother Imran alleged that he was beaten up on the suspicion that he was transporting cows for slaughter.

"Ayyub's car met with an accident on SG Highway on the night of September 13. When some bystanders checked the car, they found a calf and a bullock. Due to the impact, the calf died while the bullock was rescued. To save himself from people's wrath, Ayyub started running," said inspector P B Rana of Anandnagar police station here.

"Since he tried to run away, some persons caught him and thrashed him. We had lodged a case of attempt to murder against the mob. Now as he has died of injuries we will file FIR for murder. No one is arrested yet," said Rana, adding the previous FIR did not name any specific person associated with cow protection groups.

However, Ayyub's brother Imran alleged that assailants were cow vigilantes."Those who killed my brother were indeed gau rakshaks. My brother was not carrying any cow. Out of some grudge, these gau rakshaks mercilessly thrashed him. We want the police to nab the real culprits," said Imran.

The BJP-ruled state was rocked by a huge controversy in July when some Dalit youths were flogged in public by cow vigilantes at Una.

    Such cow vigilantes, moral policing etc., should be given life imprisonment. Why do people take law into their hands and get away during the NDA rule? It is a mockery of governance.

    Jaswant Singh has rightly said PM Modi's is nothing but UPA-3 plus cow governance.

    As long as 'pink revolution' only performing industry of $5 Billion annually there will be no mann ki baat.

    Human sacrifice for cow sanctity.
    Is it the minimum government,maximum governance'?

    As per police itself there was bullock and calf in the car and due to accident the calf died and the illegal,stolen cow transportation have come into picture.
    People with anger might have thrashed him who was responsible for robbery and accident which might have costed another life.No one speaks about this.People here appreciates Imran and his brother as if there are innocents.First better stop this illegal activities and then you blame vigilants.

    Shaan,

    If cow slaughter is banned then dairy farms will also close. Then the prices for dairy products will rise.

    People who demand for ban on cow slaughter have no real understanding of what it takes for upkeep of a cattle. So i dont want to hear nothing from them.

    Also to all the ignorant people out there demanding cow slaughter ban must also be against the killing of cows when they contract infectious decease. Also demand central govt to build some state of the art medical center for the treatment of cows. If you dont demand these then you are hypocrite of the highest degree.

    Truth

    They should have published the picture of the accident scene with the bullock (father) crying over it's dead calf so no one dare refute it was a case of cow (no cow here) transportation.
    People can very well differentiate between a cow and a bullock same like man and woman...!!!
    In any case, is it worth to kill a human being over an animal that is being transported? When they caught up with him, they could have handed him over to the Law for any action as per law.
    A hindu person was killed recently and it was said he is with BJP. Immediately he was forsaken by everyone from BJP !!!
