12 injury marks, broken bones: Alwar mob lynching victim died of shock due to grievous wounds, reveals post-mortem
Alwar mob lynching victim Rakbar Khan died of shock due to grievous wounds, revealed the post-mortem report today. The autopsy report also said that Khan had 12 injury marks on his body with broken bones and ribs.
The facts in the post-mortem report proves the brutality that the Haryana resident suffered on the fateful night in Rajasthan’s Alwar.
The post-mortem report comes a day after the investigating officer in the case admitted his fault. In a video that has gone viral, Assistant Sub-Inspector Mohan Singh admitted the lapses on his part. ‘Galti ho gayi, saza deni hai toh de do (yes, I made a mistake, punish me if you want to).’
Amid national outrage over growing menace of mob lynching across the country, the Alwar incident was raised in the Rajya Sabha today.
Raising the issue through a zero hour mention, Shanta Chhetri of the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) cited media reports to say that "88 precious lives have been lost (in lynching incidents) since this government came to power." Noting that the Supreme Court had last week asked for a law banning mob lynching, she asked what the government has done to check such incidents.
She wanted to know the steps initiated to check such attacks and the government action on framing the anti-lynching law.
She found support in several opposition parties, whose members rose their hands to 'associate' themselves with the issue raised.
A group of men on Saturday thrashed 28-year-old Akbar to death in Alwar district on suspicion of cow smuggling. In the same district in April last year, Pehlu Khan, a cattle farmer was lynched by a mob as he rode home from a market with two cows and two calves in the back of his truck.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu hoped the government will take note of the issue raised.
