Madhya Pradesh: Muslim women beaten up by Hindu mob over beef rumours
July 27, 2016 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Madhya Pradesh: As per media reports, two Muslim women were beaten up by members of a Hindu group at Mandsaur railway station in Madhya Pradesh today. Victims were suspected of carrying beef.
“However, initial reports by a veterinary doctor suggest that the meat was that of a buffalo. Importing of buffalo meat inside Madhya Pradesh without permission is illegal and thus both of them have been taken into custody for ‘smuggling and trying to sell’ the meat”, notes Indian Express (IE).

The video made by passers-by spread on social media giving rise to outrage following which state Home Minister Bhupinder Singh said that appropriate action will be taken.
Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati also responded to this incident and said: “BJP raises slogans ‘Mahilao ke Samman me, BJP maidan me‘, yet in BJP ruled Madhya Pradesh women are thrashed on beef rumours.”
The incident has happened just a couple of weeks after a video of Dalit youths being thrashed for skinning a cow went viral on the internet leading to protests in Gujarat and other parts of the country.
