Alwar police snatch 51 cows from Muslim man, hand them over to gaushala

Jaipur: Cow vigilantes have changed their strategy. Smarting from the past experience instead of direct attacks on members of minority community, they have apparently adopted new tactics of harassment and attacking their livelihood.

The latest incident in Alwar is an indication where close on the heels of controversial clean chit to accused of Pehlu Khan’s murder, Alwar police have once again been accused of playing into hands of Hindu rights.

A Muslim family has alleged that local police snatched their cows and handed over to a Gaushala. The Gaushala reportedly belonged to a local BJP leader who is up pradhan of panchayat samiti.

Subba Khan, 45, has alleged that local police forcibly took away his 51 cows at the behest of Hindu activists on October 3. For past 12 days, he has been running from pillar to post to get back his cows. This is despite written statement in his favour by the villagers.

Nearly 17 calves that were at Khan’s house are now fed with milk bottles. He has given an affidavit at the Kishangarh police station that all the cows were milking and their calves are at his home.
