Pehlu Khan Case: Police files charge sheet against two victims
Jaipur: Police has filed a second chargesheet following the death of Haryana dairy farmer Pehlu Khan, naming latter's two companions as accused and concludes that all three had indulged in ‘cow smuggling' under state laws.
The charge sheet is filed in the court of the Behror additional chief judicial magistrate.
Following Khan's lynching on April 1, police had registered two cases — one against Khan's murderers and another against Khan and his companions for ‘indulging in cow smuggling.'
Based on video footage of the lynching, police had charged nine men with the murder of Khan but another investigation in September last year had cleared six of them.
The January 24 chargesheet names four as accused – Azmat and Rafique -residents of Khan's village, Jaisinghpur in Haryana, Arjun Lal Yadav who was driving one of the two pickup trucks that were attacked and his father Jagdish Prasad.
Both Azmat and Rafique were injured in the attack and Yadav too was thrashed up, but he managed to run away.
"We didn't get any document to say that they were transporting the animals legally, that's why they have been found guilty of smuggling cows," an investigating officer told.
"We were attacked and beaten up by the mob, and now we have been made the accused" asked Azmat.
