2017 Alwar mob lynching
The 2017 Alwar mob lynching refers to the brutal killing of Pehlu Khan, a 55-year-old dairy farmer, by a mob in Alwar district, Rajasthan, India, on April 1, 2017. Khan was transporting cattle, which sparked allegations of cow smuggling, a sensitive issue in India due to the country's cultural and religious reverence for cows. The incident ignited widespread outrage and highlighted the increasing incidents of mob violence, particularly targeting individuals involved in the beef trade or cow transportation. The attack raised concerns over the enforcement of laws related to cow protection and the growing influence of vigilante groups. Following the incident, significant debates ensued regarding law enforcement, communal tensions, and the protection of minority communities in India.
