Buffalo meat, not beef: Forensic report confirms Aligarh attack victims were carrying legal meat
Aligarh: A report by forensic laboratory in Mathura has confirmed that the meat transported by the victims of a violent assault in Aligarh was buffalo meat, not the prohibited beef, as suspected by cow vigilantes.
“We have received the report of the laboratory that confirms that the sample of meat sent for testing came from a buffalo. Our seniors will decide the future course of action,” The Telegraph quoted Aligarh police inspector Dheeraj Kumar as saying.
The assault took place at Alahdadapur in Harduaganj, where the four men were attacked by a mob of cow vigilantes who suspected them of carrying beef. The victims, who were meat transporters, were allegedly beaten with iron rods after they refused to pay Rs 50,000 to the attackers.
One of the victims, Mohammad Aqueel, spoke to reporters from the hospital, describing the ordeal. He averred that they had the necessary documents to prove that they were transporting buffalo meat from the Al Ammar factory in Rorawar to a market in Aligarh.
“The attackers demanded Rs 50,000 from us and began beating us with iron rods when we refused. They kept beating us. The police came twice, saw us in a pool of blood, and left. A cop punched me, too. Later, senior officers came and took us to the hospital, where some staff misbehaved with us and cursed us for killing cows,” The Telegraph quoted Aqueel as saying.
The police rescued the victims, Mohammad Arbaz, Mohammad Qadir, Mohammad Aqueel, and one other person, and admitted them to the district hospital, later shifting them to Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Hospital due to the severity of their injuries.
Three individuals, identified as Vijay Bajrangi, Vijay Gupta, and Lavkush Bajrangi, were arrested in connection with the attack on Sunday. However, Aqueel claimed that the police also filed charges against them for transporting illegal meat and for causing a law and order disturbance.
“The police have also booked us for transporting (illegal) meat and creating law and order issues. We want them to withdraw the case against us,” Aqueel added

RSS has global network of over 2,500 groups for money laundering: Priyank Kharge
Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.
Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
