Yesterday only, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke his silence on the matter of people getting killed in the name of cow protection and he made it clear that nobody would be allowed to take laws in hand. In a program in Gujarat, he said, “Killing people in the name of gau bhakti is not acceptable. This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve of.”
However, just few hours after his speech, furious mob killed a man in Ramgarh, Jharkhand, as he was allegedly carrying beef. According to cops, the name of the man is Alimuddin alias Asgar Ansari and he had beef in his Maruti van.
He was severely attacked by a group after he was stopped near Bajartand village and his van was also set on fire. The police scattered the crowd and took him to a hospital where he succumbed to injuries and died. R K Mallik, the Additional Director General of Police, told IANS, “It’s premeditated murder.”
The situation in the area got tensed after the police brought the dead body of Alimuddin to Ramgarh and a huge crowd gathered outside the station.
There has been a sudden increase in such types of incidents in the last few days and to protest against the same, thousands of people in Delhi and four other cities came on road on Wednesday. They were also holding placards which read #NotInMyName.
It seems people have lost the fear of law & order and hence, it’s very necessary that the central and state governments take strict action against the people involved in these crimes.
