Cow protectors manhandle and physically abuse two Muslim women for allegedly carrying beef in Mandsaur

Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh July 27: Two Muslim women were slapped, kicked and abused by a crowd led by self-appointed cow protectors at a railway station in Madhya Pradesh in the presense of policeman  on Tuesday

In a mobile phone video taken by one of the many spectators who did nothing to stop the attack, policemen are seen making half-hearted attempts to control the raging mob.

The police had come to the railway station in Mandsaur to arrest the Muslim women after a tip-off that they were travelling with a large quantity of beef.

But the women were attacked by a mob even after the police caught them.

In the video taken by a witness, the women are cornered by a crowd that is heard screaming “Gau Mata Ki Jai”. The women in the mob slap and punch the two women until one of them collapses.

The policemen don’t try hard enough to protect the women.

The women were thrashed for nearly half an hour before the police led them away.

Police sources said 30 kg of meat has been recovered from the women.

According to the police, a doctor examined the meat and pronounced it buffalo meat, not beef.

The women have still been charged, because they did not have a permit to sell meat.

But no action has been taken against those who assaulted the women, or the policemen who watched without stopping the attack.
