8 June, 2025
Case Summary
In Jhimrawat village, Haryana, the Pingawan police raided the house of a Muslim cow smuggler and rescued 16 live cows and discovered one dead cow. They also recovered 170 kg of beef from the scene. According to reports, the police had received information that individuals named Tahir, Usman, Rashid, Abbas, Zubaina, and Iqbal were involved in cow slaughter. These accused slaughtered cows in their house and supplied beef to nearby villages by motorcycle. The perpetrators had been engaged in this activity for many years. During the police raid, a stampede broke out among the accused, allowing some to escape. However, the police arrested a female smuggler named Zubaina and recovered 170 kg of freshly butchered beef from her house. The police continued their search for the remaining accused to arrest them.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
The cow is regarded as sacred in the Hindu religion. There have been numerous documented cases throughout history where non-Hindu individuals have slaughtered cows as an act intended to insult the Hindu faith. Such acts have also been used to forcibly convert Hindus, sometimes by compelling them to consume beef, and to desecrate temples. In many cases of cow slaughter, there is a high suspicion that religious animosity towards Hindus is a motivating factor. In the present case, given that the perpetrators are Muslims, there is a possibility that underlying religious motivations played a role. However, in the absence of concrete evidence indicating religious animosity, this incident is currently categorised as Undecided. If further details emerge indicating that the crime was carried out due to religious animosity, then it will be recategorised to the Hate Crime Database.
