On Wednesday, 14 August, a trial court in Rajasthan acquitted all six adult men who had been charged with the murder of Pehlu Khan. On 1 April 2017, Khan had allegedly been lynched by a mob for transporting cattle – the mob claimed he was smuggling them – and he died two days later. His sons, who were with him at the time, were also attacked.
The six accused who were let off by the court are Vipin Yadav, Ravindra Kumar, Kaluram, Dayanand, Yogesh Kumar and Bheem Rathi.
