"People who executed the inhuman act under the guise of being cow-protectors are linked with the BJP and its associate organisations," read the memorandum submitted to the governor by the state Congress. "The Congress leader pointed out that the Supreme Court had to issue notice to five states, including Rajasthan, on a petition seeking ban on cow vigilante groups. It added, "Rajasthan police's action and the state home minister's statements reveal that efforts are being made to protect the guilty." State home minister (Gulab Chand Kataria) praising such vigilante groups is poor example of it. Khan and four others were badly thrashed by a mob suspecting them to be cow smugglers transporting bovines to slaughter houses..
