The incidents of cow vigilantism are taking place even thought Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a strong message said that killing people in name of Gau Bhakti was not acceptable.

In June, Junaid was stabbed to death and his cousins were thrashed in a train by a mob which accused them of carrying beef while they were returning home to Khandawli village after shopping for Eid in Delhi.

In Jharkhand, a man of Beria Hatiatand village in Jharkhand's Giridih district was thrashed and a part of his house was set ablaze by a mob after a dead cow was reportedly found outside his house.

Three months ago, Haryana's dairy farmer Pehlu Khan succumbed to injuries after he was attacked by a cow protection group and a mob lynched two men in Assam's Nagaon district suspecting them to be cattle thieves.
