Alwar Lynching Accused Hailed As Hero: No Will To Crackdown On Vigilantes?
Two videos had brought out the horror of the Alwar lynching: 55-year-old dairy owner Pehlu Khan yanked by his neck, thrown to the ground, kicked by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan early this month. A fortnight later, a third video has emerged. This shows one of the five men arrested for Khan's murder being applauded and eulogised by the leader of the cow vigilante group; all this and more while the 19-year-old was in the custody of the police.
