A group of cow vigilantes in Ujjain district assaulted a man on the suspicion that he had cut the tail of a cow. The incident took place yesterday near a temple in Peeplinaka area of Ujjain district. Two of the accused have been arrested.

Jiwajiganj police station in-charge OP Mishra said the accused had been thrashed as he had a dispute with the attackers over money. “A case has been registered based on a complaint of the victim, identified as Apuda Malviya. Two of the accused have been arrested,” said Mishra.

The accused were seen beating a man with belt, and kicking and punching him while alleging that he had cut the tail of a cow in a video that went viral.

On Friday, cow vigilantes assaulted six men for allegedly slaughtering and skinning a buffalo in Aligarh.

Police said some bystanders spotted blood in the dairy premises and alarmed by the sight, they barged into the dairy and assaulted the victims.

The victims were later arrested under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. “We got information that a buffalo was being slaughtered in the home of someone called Kalu Baghel. We reached there and have arrested 6 people,” police officer Pankaj Shrivastava said.

A video which surfaced online shows one of the six men being snatched from police and being beaten up by a mob. The locals accused the men of slaughtering and skinning the buffalo.

“How else do you treat such people… they have to be beaten up till the slaughter does not end completely,” said Vinay, a man who led the assault.

No case has been filed against the attackers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
