SIT submits report to Raj DGP on Pehlu Khan lynching case

Published on: 

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to investigate the 2017 Pehlu Khan lynching case on Thursday submitted its report to the Rajsthan DGP, a source said.

He said the report will soon be presented before Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

The Chief Minister had ordered a fresh investigation into the case and decided to follow it up with an appeal against the acquittal of all six accused in the case by an Alwar court last month. The SIT under the supervision of state’s additional director general of police (Crime) was constituted.

The CM  had taken the decision two days after an Alwar court acquitted all six people, accused of leading a mob of suspected cow vigilantes to attack and lynch 55-year-old Pehlu Khan, a dairy farmer from Nuh district of Haryana.
