Case Summary
On June 18, a video surfaced showing a public calf slaughter for Qurbani on Id-ul-Adha in Ramzan Colony, Ranchi, Jharkhand. The incident, which took place on June 17, led to the police registering a case and initiating a manhunt for the primary suspects, Amanullah and Hakim Khan, who fled after the video went viral. The video shows several individuals, some wearing skull caps, along with women and children, witnessing the slaughter. This event caused significant unrest in Ranchi, with many demanding swift action against the perpetrators. Deputy SP KV Raman stated that the police quickly responded, recovered meat from the scene, and sent it for forensic examination. Initial investigations indicate it was a cow that was slaughtered.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
The cow is considered sacred in the Hindu religion. Often, cows are slaughtered by non-Hindu perpetrators as a mark of insult to the Hindu faith. There have been several documented cases throughout history where cow slaughter is used as a method to insult the Hindu faith, convert Hindus (by force-feeding beef) and desecrate temples. In all cases of cow slaughter, there is a suspicion of religious animosity against Hindus working as a motivating factor, however, in the absence of any concrete indication, this case is being categorized as 'undecided'. If more details emerge, it would be added to the hate crime database.
