Gujarat court sentences three to life imprisonment in cow slaughter case
Ahmedabad: A sessions court in Gujarat’s Amreli district recently sentenced three persons to life imprisonment for cow slaughter under provisions of the Gujarat Animal Preservation Act.
In the judgement, Sessions Judge Rizvana Bukhari held Kasim Solanki, Sattar Solanki and Akram Solanki guilty of cow slaughter, observing that the three men did it despite knowing that the animals were considered sacred in Hinduism, as reported by Deccan Herald.
The court also imposed a heavy fine of Rs 6 lakh on each of the accused.
The Gujarat Animal Preservation Act prohibits slaughter of any animal of cow progeny in the state.
The Bhupendra Patel-led Gujarat government hailed the verdict as "historic" and asserted that the government was committed to protect the cow which is the "center of Indian culture and faith and the state government will have no mercy" for such crimes.
During the proceedings, Special Public Prosecutor Chandresh Mehta said that this was the first time that three persons had been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in a single case of cow slaughter in Gujarat by a court.
