Andhra: 8 held for beating Dalits over dead cow
After the Home Ministry issued an advisory against cow vigilantes, eight people were on Wednesday arrested in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh for thrashing two Dalits suspecting cow slaughter. However, they were reportedly burying the electrocuted dead cow. While police have claimed the case was not related to cow vigilantism, CM N Chandrababu Naidu warned stern action against anyone attacking Dalits.
