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.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
