Police have arrested five members of the Gau Raksha Dal for allegedly beating a migrant labourer to death on suspicion of eating beef in Haryana's Charkhi-Dadri district. The incident, which occurred on August 27, involved the brutal assault of the victim, identified as Sabir Malik, a resident of West Bengal. Two teenagers involved in the case have also been arrested.
According to a senior police officer, the accused—Abhishek, Mohit, Ravinder, Kamaljit, and Sahil—lured Sabir Malik to a shop under the pretext of selling empty plastic bottles before assaulting him. When some people tried to intervene, the accused took Malik to another location and beat him again, leading to his death.
All five accused, along with the two teenagers, have been taken into custody.
