In a harrowing incident, a family of nomadic herders was attacked by a group of “gau rakshaks” in the state of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. A video of the entire incident has now emerged on social media. At least 5 people were injured in the shocking incident that included a nine-year-old girl.
The video shows a group of men raising slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” and aggressively attacking the house and causing damage to it as the family members continued to scream and beg them to stop. However, the mercy plea did not seem to have any effect on the cow vigilantes and they continued to attack them. An elderly man also suffered injuries in the entire episode. You can also see the men pushing back the cops who tried to intervene. The group of men also allegedly set the shed ablaze.
