The lynching incident of Pehlu Khan is back in the news not because justice has been served, but because of a report that said that he was named in the charge sheet of a cow smuggling case.

Although Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot called the information “factually incorrect”, the state police acknowledged that Pehlu was indeed booked along with his two sons for cow smuggling under provisions of the Rajasthan Bovine Animals (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act. However, his name was dropped later because deceased people can’t be tried.
