Days after a scathing letter from retired bureaucrats and civil society activists, Rajasthan Chief Miniser Vasundhara Raje has finally broken her three-week silence on the death of Pehlu Khan. Ms Raje issued a warning to cow vigilantes, who had allegedly beaten to death the 55-year-old dairy farmer from Alwar on April 1. Her indictment was a first from the state government in the case that triggered outrage and had ripples in Parliament. Earlier, her minister Gulab Chand Kataria had described it as "manhandling".
