Three Muslim men arrested for cow slaughtering in Haryana; 93 kg beef, five live cattle, and two cattle skins recovered

Case Summary
In the forests of Autha village, Pinangwan police acted on information about cow slaughter and found 93 kg of banned meat, five live cattle, and two cattle skins. The three accused, Iqbal, Sahil, and Zakir, escaped after the police arrived. They were reportedly cutting small pieces of meat and distributing it in villages. The police seized several tools and items used for slaughter, including knives, axes, and electronic scales. A case was filed against 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.
