Betul (MP), Aug 3: Four persons were brutally thrashed by a vigilante group linked to a saffron outfit on the suspicion of being cow smugglers in a remote tribal village in Betul district, with the video of the incident going viral on social media.

The victims, whom police consider as suspected cow smugglers, were arrested after the attack. However, the assailants were absconding, police said.

After a video of the incident, which reportedly took place last week, went viral on social media, police registered separate cases against the assailants as well as the alleged cow smugglers.

The video showed the four youths tied up and being beaten brutally in front of a crowd at the village, about 110 km from Betul district headquarters.

Sub Divisional Officer of Police Prem Singh Thakur said yesterday that, "A case was registered against Shyam, Manak, Sundar Parate and others (part of the cow vigilante group) for assault". All of them were absconding.

Also, another case was registered against the four persons, all residents of Rehatgao in neighbouring Harda district, for alleged cow smuggling, he said.

"These cow smugglers have been arrested. We are investigating the video clip, and will take further action accordingly," the police officer said.

Mumbai, Jun 30: Senior Congress leader and former Union minister Prithviraj Chavan on Tuesday demanded a ban on NaMo app alleging that it was violating privacy of Indians.

The former Maharashtra chief minister also alleged that the NaMo app, the official mobile phone application of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, surreptitiously changes the privacy settings and sends data to third party companies in the US.

"Its good that Modi government is protecting privacy of 130 crore Indians by banning 59 Chinese apps. The NaMo app also violates privacy of Indians by accessing 22 data points, surreptitiously changing the privacy settings and sending data to third party companies in the US," Chavan tweeted.

India on Monday banned 59 apps with Chinese links, including hugely popular TikTok and UC Browser, saying they were prejudicial to sovereignty, integrity and security of the country.

The move came against the backdrop of the border stand-off with China and recent clash in Galwan Valley in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed.
