India police 'sorry' for lynching photo

[Dalit]

Police apologised after this picture went viral on social media

Police in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have apologised after a photograph of a lynched man being dragged by a crowd in the presence of three officers caused outrage.

The victim, identified as Kasim, died soon after the picture was taken, while on the way to hospital.

Police say he was beaten up after a "minor tiff" over a motorcycle accident. They deny he was attacked over reports of cow slaughter.

The state police tweeted the apology.

Speaking to the BBC, the chief spokesperson of the state police, Rahul Srivastava, said the pictures were "misleading" and the "policemen did not support lynching".

"The picture shows that man is being dragged and the policemen are doing nothing about it, but that's not true - the mob just wanted to continue attacking the man and our men were trying desperately to keep them away. However, they should have been more careful in how the man was carried and looked after him better. That is why we have apologised and ordered an inquiry," he added.

However this apology was also condemned by some who called it a weak justification for what had happened.

The image, which was widely shared on social media, had generated outrage amid reports that the victim had been targeted by "cow protection" vigilantes.

Hindus consider cows to be sacred, and for many, eating beef is taboo. The slaughter of cows is also banned in many Indian states.

• Is India descending into mob rule?
• How has India changed a year after Dadri beef lynching?

Muslims have been attacked in several parts of the country on suspicion that they have either slaughtered cows or eaten beef.

Definitely lynched by RSS cow vigilante mob.

This is India for you folks. You get murdered in broad daylight on the suspicion of cow slaughter and consumption. They drag your body on the streets and police are complicit.

Thank God for Pakistan.

LMAO

We are Sorry for the Hapur Incident.
Law & order incidents often lead to unintended yet undesirable acts.

TBH Muslims of India have been asking for it. Specially the new piglets who have grown under the state propaganda and have become more loyal then king himself. Their elders were not this stupid. Back in the days, Muslims of India had proper and well organized underworld setup which was a sort of guarantee for their protection against these Hindu terrorists and organizations. Now these chutiyas have let go their militant wings and made themselves vulnerable to these Hindu terrorists. What we call sitting ducks. Indian state, is under the thumb of the Hindu terrorists, it wont protect the Muslims. Either Muslims of India reorganise themselves and their lost underworld, or keep on getting steam rolled and humiliated.

Definitely supported by the state of India and hindu police is doing whatever RSS wishes because most of Indian institutions are infested with RSS terrorist insects.

No, not at all. Pakistan should sit back and watch India collapse from within. Let the Indian society decay at a natural rate.

 

[Dalit]

India is crumbling like a house of cards. It is an intolerant society. There are too many differences.

 

[Globalwarrior]

Thank you Jinnah !!!

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Our cowardly leaders too scared to say anything? I am looking forward to the elections to see IK put Modi in his place.

This old man came to save kasim of hapur. This man also got bashed up by the bastard sons of cow in UP. Still, many north Indian Hindus loves RSS. They cannot see anything wrong in lynching and supports holy cow. Even a Virat Hindu can self immolate for a cow. That much cow bhakti. :
