The Supreme Court has pulled up the Centre and the states over the issue of cow vigilantism and mob killings. The top court on Monday sought a response from the states on compensation for the families of mob killing victims. The Centre and the states have also been asked to give wide publicity within a week on how mob violence of any kind will invite serious consequence under the law.
