Alwar Lynching Verdict: Did the Prosecution Muddle Up the Case?

The Quint  

The only public witness to the case was Rakbar’s friend Aslam. According to the prosecution, the police received a call from Naval Kishore, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader, who has now been acquitted. Kishore, the prosecution claimed, told the police that two individuals involved in an alleged illegal sale of cattle had been beaten up. When the police approached Rakbar, the prosecution claims, he told them that he was carrying out an 'illegal' cattle trade along with his friend, as a result of which he was allegedly stopped by these people and thrashed. The prosecution has said that he pointed to each of the four men, took their names and then the police took him to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
