Jammu: Bus driver brutally beaten by cow vigilante after accidentally hitting stray calf
Jammu: A bus driver was severely beaten by a self-proclaimed cow vigilante after his vehicle accidentally hit and killed a stray calf and bull in the Ghati area of Kathua district on Tuesday night.
The driver, identified as Ramesh Kumar, was pulled out of his bus and assaulted with wooden sticks by Ravinder Singh, the vigilante, leaving him critically injured.
The incident occurred when the bus struck the stray animals on the road, resulting in their deaths. Singh, along with his supporters, confronted Kumar and began the assault despite his desperate pleas for mercy. Singh's relentless attack left the driver in critical condition, necessitating immediate medical treatment at a local hospital.
The attack has incited outrage in the community, leading to widespread protests. Residents took to the streets, demanding Singh's immediate arrest and condemning his actions. Protesters argued that Singh had no right to take the law into his own hands and should have reported the incident to the police instead of resorting to violence.
The community is calling for justice for Ramesh Kumar and is urging for stricter measures to prevent such vigilante actions in the future.
This incident is part of a troubling trend of assaults by cow vigilantes in India. Just two days prior, two lemon traders from Haryana were thrashed by a group of about 20 cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Churu district under suspicion of transporting cows.
