Pehlu Khan Case: More Interest in Cow Smuggling Than Lynching?
In this episode of The Big Story we take a look at the recent development from the Pehlu Khan lynching incident.
The lynching incident of Pehlu Khan is back in the news not because justice has been served, but because of a report that said that he was named in the charge sheet of a cow smuggling case.
Although Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot called the information “factually incorrect”, the state police acknowledged that Pehlu was indeed booked along with his two sons for cow smuggling under provisions of the Rajasthan Bovine Animals (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act. However, his name was dropped later because deceased people can’t be tried.
In this episode of The Big Story, we take a look at what has happened in the case so far and what are the recent developments. Tune in!
