New Delhi: Muhammad Siddique and his cousin Mir Hussain were attacked by a group of self-styled cow vigilantes on Thursday night in Gharota village of Bhilwara Tehsil, Jammu. The men, who belong to the Gujjar community, are seriously injured and currently undergoing treatment in a hospital.
15-20 Hindutva goons attacked them with lathis and stones at around 9 pm on Thursday, when the duo were returning home along with a pair of oxen they had purchased four-five days ago from a neighbouring village.
The men alleged that they had stopped near the stream to quench the thirst of their animals when a mob surrounded them and accused them of cow slaughtering. Sharp-edged knives were forced into their hands.
