A Muslim cattle trader was allegedly lynched in Udupi, Karnataka by the members of Bajrang Dal. He was intercepted by the goons and beaten up while his two younger companions fled out of fear. Three policemen were also involved in the murder. After he was severely beaten up by the Bajrang Dal, he was dragged by the cops to the cop car but died due to cardiac arrest in the car. Then the police took the body back and told the Bajrang Dal to get rid of it. The three policemen were later arrested along with eight Bajrang Dal activists.
