Two Muslim Cattle Traders Brutally Killed in India

According to The News, Muhammad Mazloom, 35, and Azad Khan, 15, were allegedly hanged from a tree after being tortured in the Jhabbar village of Latehar district near Ranchi, India.

The two had their hands tied together behind their backs and their mouths were gagged with a cloth.Reports were that the attackers were Hindu extremist vigilantes.

India is the world’s largest exporter of beef and its fifth biggest consumer, but the killing of cows is forbidden in some regions, including in the state of Jharkhand, as many Hindus regard the animal as sacred.
