Taking Alwar Mob Victim To Hospital, Cops Stopped For Tea, Cow Transport
JAIPUR, July 22: The man who died in Rajasthan's Alwar on Friday after being beaten by a mob that suspected him of cattle smuggling, was in police custody for nearly four hours before he was taken to a hospital, NDTV has found. On the way to the hospital, the police gave him a bath, arranged vehicles to transport the seized cows, took him to a police station and even stopped for tea.
The police, which said 28-year-old Akbar Khan died "on way to hospital", have arrested three persons who were allegedly part of the lynch mob. They will be charged with murder, the police said.
The injured man was picked up from Alwar's Lallawandi village, where he was beaten up by a mob, a little after 1 am. A doctor at a local hospital told NDTV the man, who was already dead, was brought in at 4 am. The entry in the medical register corroborates it.
Akbar Khan and his friend were targeted when they were seen taking home a couple of cows they had bought from a nearby village. The men, residents of a Haryana village, were walking through a forest area when they were targeted by the locals of Alwar's Lallawandi village.
The mob mercilessly attacked them with sticks and stones. The police, who were called in by a section of villagers, found the man severely injured. While being taken to the hospital, the 28-year-old, locally called Akbar, died. His friend Aslam had managed to escape.

Six killed, 5 injured as passenger vehicle hits truck in Odisha
Sundargarh (Odisha) (PTI): Six people were killed and five others injured after a vehicle in which they were travelling rammed into a truck in Odisha's Sundargarh district early on Saturday, police said.
The accident occurred near Gaikanapali area under the Hemgiri Police Station limits when the passenger-carrying van hit the truck from behind, a senior officer said.
"Six members of a 'kirtan' group died on the spot, and five others were injured. Maybe, the accident occurred due to fog in the area," he said.
The 'kirtan' party went to Chakkplai village for a programme on the occasion of Diwali, and the accident took place when they were returning to their villages.
The deceased people belonged to Kandagoda and Samarpinda villages in the district.
The injured persons were admitted to a local hospital, the officer said.
Local people blocked the road, demanding ex gratia for the victims' families.
