Three thrashed over beef rumour in Madhya Pradesh, one accused uploaded the video on Facebook
New Delhi: In a viral video, two men were tied to a tree and thrashed by a group along with a woman being hit repeatedly with a slipper on her head for allegedly carrying beef in an autorickshaw at a village in Madhya Pradesh. The woman took the blows silently from the attacker who was heard yelling at her, “Jai Shri Ram”.
Police officer Lalit Shakyavar said, “The video is four days old and four people have been arrested. They have been sent to jail by a local court. One more accused has been arrested. He will appear in court today.”
The police also said that five men have been arrested from Seoni city, 350km from state capital Bhopal.
Shubham Singh, one of the accused who calls himself a member of “Ram Sena”, posted the video on his Facebook account on May 23 and deleted the video later.
However, after the Facebook post Dilip Malviya's sister filed a first information report against the beatings, following which the police arrested the five men, including Shubham Singh.
Former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti condemned the incident and said, “Horrified to see cow vigilantes thrash an innocent Muslim with such impunity in MP. Hope Kamal Nath takes swift action against these goons.”
A day after on all the talk on inclusiveness by @PMOIndia this is what happens in Seoni, MP. Muslim man being beaten on suspect of carrying beef and then asked 2 thrash his wife & say Jai Shree Ram. Hoping @DGP_MP will take some action. Truly sad. pic.twitter.com/NGZakOl7r3
