[RT] So-called Hindu ‘cow vigilantes’ set on preventing cattle from being slaughtered attacked a transport convey in India, hospitalizing five Muslim workers, of whom one later died.Pehlu Khan, 55, and his companions were reportedly targeted after they fell under suspicion of smuggling cows through Rajasthan, a northern Indian state where cow trafficking is illegal.
The attackers were affiliated with Vishwa Hindu Parishad, a right-wing nationalist organization, and its youth wing, Bajrang Dal, according to Ramesh Chand Sinsinwar, a Behror police official.
The men “stopped four vehicles... on Saturday evening, alleging that they were illegally transporting bovines...” Sinsinwar told the Indian Express.
