Mob kills two Muslim men over suspected cow theft
2017-04-30
Two Muslim men, Reazuddin and Abu hanifa were beaten to death by stick-weilding Indian villagers who suspected them of stealing cows, police said on Monday. Police in Nagaon district said they had registered a murder case over the deaths of Abu Hanifa and Riyazuddin Ali on Sunday. Two suspects have been detained for questioning. The Human Rights Watch report says that since the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party formed India's federal government in 2014, attacks against Muslims and Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) have risen over rumours that they sold, bought or killed cows for beef.
