My son was a cattle rearer, not a cow smuggler: Lynching victim Akbar Khan’s dad

Alwar, Jul 22: They brutally murdered him accusing him of being a cattle smuggler just because he was seen with cattle. But, the victim was in fact a cattle rearer and not a smuggler.

"My son was a cattle rearer not a cow smuggler. We own four cows and take care of them", said a teary-eyed Sulaiman Khan, father of 30-year-old Akbar Khan, who was lynched by a mob in Alwar district's Ramgarh late on Friday.

Devastated after Akbar's death, Sulaiman said, "It is impossible for me to believe that my son is no more. He left home on Thursday at 9 am with his friend Aslam to rear the cattle in the nearby village. We kept waiting for him but he did not arrive. It was in the morning that we came to know that he has been killed after the Ramgarh Police informed us. Everyone at our house is devastated and cannot accept that he is no more".

Akbar's friend Aslam, who was accompanying the former, is still missing. Both were residents of Kolgaon village situated alongside the Alwar- Haryana border.

Dismissing the allegations that his son was a cow smuggler, Sulaiman said, "Had he been into smuggling the police would have recovered a lorry or a truck near the place of incident. But just because two cows were found near his body does not justify that he was a smuggler".

"We are taking our son's body from the morgue here. But we request the police to arrest all those involved in his killing and give them the harsh punishment," he added.

We sad to hear. We cannot expect right justice in this world. But on the day of judgement no criminals will be spared and they will regret much when they are about to thrown to the hellfire. But their regret will be of no value over there.
