Cattle Smuggler died in an exchange of fire with Gau Rakshaks
Described Correctly: false
Error: IndiaSpend has projected this incident as a hate crime. But the fact is that there was an exchange of fire between the two groups and in the firing one cattle smuggler died. Both Victims were Cattle Smugglers and had the previous case registered against them. This was reported by many media houses like The Telegraph, Outlook, Siasat.com In fact, the two injured companions of murdered cow trader, Umar Mohammad, have been arrested by the police, on charges of cow smuggling But IndiaSpend ignored these media reports and based on an initial report by News 18 they termed it as a hate crime.
Cattle Smugglers
Group of Gau Rakshaks
A Muslim man who was transporting cows near the Rajasthan-Haryana border was shot dead allegedly by vigilantes while two of his aides were injured after being thrashed.
Comes out, both Ummar(victim) and his accomplice Tahir have been habitual offenders as per police reports. There were five-six cases against Tahir in Bharatpur and Dausa districts of Rajasthan and one case of cow-smuggling against Umar. It was an incident of exchange of fire between two parties instead of a targetted killing. Umar, Tahir and Javed were ferrying cattle in a stolen vehicle with the number plate of a motorcycle.
