Rajasthan Minister On Cow

Amid a controversy over the name of Pehlu Khan, a dairy farmer killed by a group of cow vigilantes in Rajasthan in 2017, in a chargesheet, his son on Saturday said that he his hopes of justice from the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government were dashed.

A political fight broke out on Saturday after a dairy farmer, who was beaten to death in April 2017 by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan, was named in a chargesheet along with his sons, drawing attention to the legal treatment of victims of mob killings and cow vigilantism in the country. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot defended his government, say...

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday announced that his government will set up a cow welfare ministry to ensure that cattle in the state are treated well. "I have reason to believe that the Cow Protection Board in the state should be turned into a full-fledged ministry," Mr Chouhan said at an eventattended by Digambar Jain ...

A man attacked by a mob of cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Alwar on Friday had died in police custody, the state home minister said today, after NDTV reported that the police had taken the critically wounded man to hospital after a three-hour delay. The government says it will order a judicial inquiry into the matter.

Two days after a second man was beaten to death in Rajasthan's Alwar on suspicions of cattle smuggling, three men have been arrested on suspicions of being linked to the case. The police said the men will be charged with murder.

Amid the outrage over the killing of a man on suspicions of cow smuggling in Rajasthan, Union Minister Arun Ram Meghwal appeared to make a bizarre link on Saturday between Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity, elections and cases of mob killings.

In the run-up to the parliamentary bypoll to the Alwar seat in Rajasthan, it's not just caste equation that is at play. Congress, the state's main opposition party, has accused the ruling BJP of polarising the electorate. The bypoll scheduled to be held on January 29 will see a fight between BJP's Jaswant Yadav, a minister in the Vasundhara Raje go...

Seven months after dairy owner Pehlu Khan was beaten to death in Rajasthan's Alwar, the police are investigating allegations that another Muslim was killed by cow vigilantes on Friday. One person has been detained for the murder of Ummar Khan, whose body was found with gunshot wounds on rail tracks.

Pehlu Khan's son Irshad Khan is preparing to fight two legal battles. He always knew he had to fight off a case for cow smuggling slapped on him by the police after his 55-year-old father was killed by cow vigilantes on the national highway in Rajasthan's Alwar this April. After the Rajasthan police's clean chit to the six men identified by his fat...

Days after a Rajasthan High Court judge recommended that the cow be declared Indias national animal, the states agriculture minister Prabhu Lal Saini has claimed that cow milk can prevent cancer.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has finally broken her silence on Pehlu Khan, a 55-year-old farmer who was beaten to death earlier this month by suspected cow vigilantes in Alwar.

55-year-old Pehlu Khan is yanked roughly by his neck, thrown to the ground and kicked in a new video apparently of the deadly mob attack on men transporting cows in Rajasthan's Alwar.

Five men were mercilessly beaten up by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Alwar district. A 55-year-old lost his life. But the attack was brushed off as "manhandling". In a pointed attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and the RSS, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi today said there is no place in the country for those disagreeing with t...

Amid outrage over the killing of a man by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Alwar, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi triggered a howl of protests in parliament today as he said: "No such incident took place as described by opposition."

A deadly assault on five men by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Alwar, which led to the killing of one of them, was repeatedly described as "manhandling" by state Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria in an interview to NDTV today. When pressed to explain the apparent trivialization of murder, the minister took off his mic and walked off, muttering "nons...
