A Muslim man was beaten to death by a mob in a small town an hour from New Delhi in response to rumors that he had slaughtered and eaten a cow, sacred to Hindus. Another man died after being attacked by villagers who believed he was involved in cattle smuggling.
距离新德里一小时行程的一个小镇，一位男性穆斯林因为据传屠宰并吃掉了一只牛而被打死。牛是印度教的圣物。另一位男性因为被相信卷入了牛只走私而被村民袭击致死。还有一位卡车司机在查谟和克什米尔邦的乌德汉普尔（Udhampur）被杀，因为据传他参与了杀牛。三起死亡事件相隔不到三周。
