By Syed Ali Mujtaba, Edited By Adam Rizvi, The India Observer, TIO: New Delhi – One Muslim migrant worker from West Bengal was beaten to death and another from Assam was injured by cow vigilantes in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri on August 27, 2024.

The Muslim victim’s crime, according to the cow vigilantes was that they had eaten beef, and for doing so, they needed to be killed, lynched, and murdered. This is the new normal in India. Since, the victims are Muslims none can use their fundamental right to protest because UAPA awaits them, and they can be in jail for infinite years, facing Joseph Kafka’s trial.
