Migrant scrap dealer killed by cow vigilantes in Haryana
Gurugram: A 26-year-old migrant from West Bengal was beaten to death by cow vigilantes in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri earlier this week, over suspicions that he had consumed beef. Another migrant from Assam was also severely injured in the attack.
The incident occurred on August 27, when a group of men lured the victim, Sabir, a scrap dealer residing in a slum near Badhra village, to the local bus stand under the pretext of disposing of scrap. They also summoned another migrant, Asiruddin from Assam, to the bus stand and allegedly assaulted both men.
When passers-by attempted to intervene, the attackers moved the two to separate locations on motorcycles. Sabir was later found dead near a canal in Bhandwa village, while Asiruddin was discovered in a different location and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital.
Police have arrested five individuals and detained two juveniles in connection with the attack. The deceased's family is demanding the "strictest possible punishment" for those involved.

Stalin claims DMK secured 1.54 crore votes
Chennai (PTI): DMK president M K Stalin on Tuesday, in a veiled reference to the TVK, claimed that the party that won additional constituencies has gained only 17.43 lakh more votes than the DMK.
He was referring to the April 23 Assembly polls where the DMK and its allies secured 74 seats, with the Dravidian party netting 59 constituencies.
In a statement, Stalin said, "the percentage difference in votes between us and them is just 3.52 per cent," in an apparent reference to the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kahzagam emerged victorious in the polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
Claiming that the DMK alliance has secured 1.54 crore votes, Stalin said, "I consider each and every one of your votes as an invaluable token of trust".
Stating that DMK has been in power several times, he said "there is no victory we have not seen and there is no defeat we have not faced".
"Whether in victory or defeat, those who regard them equally and continue their journey toward their ideals are the comrades of the party", he said adding "you are the lifeblood and roots of the movement".
"The harvest of 1.54 crore votes is the fruit of your commitment", he said.
"What return can I offer for your hard work? With the feeling of being the chief worker, we will continue our journey," the DMK chief added.
Stalin said "if we are the ruling party, we will formulate schemes for the people. If we are the opposition party, we will fight for the people's demands. In that regard, now as a strong opposition party, we will continue to work for the people".
Asserting that the DMK will continue the journey of taking forward the policies of the century-old great Dravidian movement, protecting race, language, and nation, the DMK leader said "in our journey, I will not leave anyone behind. We will win again".
