Case Summary

In the Muslim dominated Palasi Road area of Karond, Bhopal, large quantities of cow meat was recovered and evidence of illegal cow slaughter was found. According to reports, a group of individuals had been engaged in the illegal slaughter of cows in a residential area, in clear violation of law. This was uncovered when Bajrang Dal activists received information about cow slaughter taking place at the location. Upon reaching the spot, they found a large quantity of cow meat and more than half a dozen live cows tied up, waiting to be slaughtered. The Hindu organisation also stated that cows were being slaughtered and were being sold on Fridays(Juma). The accused, upon seeing the Hindu organization members, fled the scene, leaving behind their weapons and the meat. As of the date of writing this report, the police has registered a case and were searching for the accused.

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 categorised as Undecided. If more details emerge, it would be added to the Hate Crime Database.
