All six men accused of killing Pehlu Khan in 2017 have been acquitted by a court in Rajasthan. The judge found several contradictions in the evidence presented in court and the charges were cleared on the benefit of doubt.
In April 2017, Pehlu Khan was transporting cattle with six others after buying them at a cattle fair in Jaipur to Haryana when he was stopped on the highway and brutally beaten by a group of men who suspected him of carrying beef.
The incident was caught and camera and the footage helped police identify the accused. Three of the people identified were underage and have been out on bail.
