Vijayawada:
Two dalit brothers were allegedly tied to a tree, stripped and thrashed by a group of self-styled cow-protectors for skinning a dead cow in Andhra Pradesh's Amalapuram.
The incident took place in Janakipeta area on Monday where owner of the cow, a farmer, hired Mokati Elisa and Mokati Rajam for skinning his pet after the animal died of electrocution, police said. However, when the group of "gau-rakshaks" (cow vigilantes) came to know about this they attacked the two brothers, suspecting that they had killed the cow.
The two were rushed to a hospital where the condition of one man was reportedly critical.
"We have registered a case under SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against some people, who are yet to be identified. We are investigating the case and gathering clues about the suspects," an officer said.
The incident has taken place when the flogging of a Dalit family at Una in Gujarat last month created a nationwide uproar over cow vigilantism.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at his first-ever townhall last week in Delhi, had said that he felt enraged at such "anti-social elements", who indulged in crimes by the night and masqueraded as cow protectors by the day.
A day later in Telangana, the PM had asked people to beware of "fake" cow protectors as they were trying to create "tension and conflict" in the society and said that "if you have to attack, attack me" but stop attacking "my Dalit brothers".
