Pehlu Khan lynching case: Rajasthan HC quashes cattle smuggling case against victim, his two sons and driver

Firstpost  

Pehlu Khan and his companions were initially said to be on their way to Haryana’s Nuh district from Jaipur when the cow vigilantes stopped two of the vehicles on the Jaipur-Delhi national highway. The Rajasthan High Court on Wednesday ordered the cancellation of the cow smuggling case against Pehlu Khan, who was lynched over two years ago in Alwar. According to reports, noting that there was “no evidence” to prove the case against Pehlu Khan and the other accused, the court said that the documents clearly show that they had bought the cattle for dairy and not for slaughter. In a separate case under the Rajasthan Bovine Animal Act, the police had booked 16 people for illegally transporting 36 animals in six vehicles.
