A Muslim couple was allegedly assaulted on a train in Madhya Pradesh by members of a self-styled cow protection group after they objected to their luggage being searched for beef. On Wednesday, seven members of the rightwing "Gaurakshak Samiti" got on the Kushinagar Express train at a station in Harda district and insisting on searching passengers and their bags. The group claimed they had been tipped off about a passenger carrying beef.
