Suspected cow vigilantes thrashed two persons in Madhya Pradesh’s Seoni with sticks, accusing them of carrying beef, following which five accused have been arrested, police said Saturday.
The group of five ‘gau rakshaks’ also forced one of the victims to beat up a woman accompanying them with chappals, a police officer said.
Police also said that the three person who were beaten up have been arrested as possession and sale of beef is illegal in Madhya Pradesh.
In a purported video clip of the incident, which has been widely circulated on social media, the five accused can be seen beating up the two men. Later, they also forced one of the men to beat up the woman accompanying them.
