HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Rakbar Khan thrashed in Alwar on suspicion of cattle smuggling on Friday
  2. Taken to hospital by cops hours after attack took place, declared dead
  3. State Home Minister promises judicial inquiry, compensation for victim
A man attacked by a mob of cow vigilantes in Rajasthan's Alwar on Friday had died in police custody, the state home minister said today, after NDTV reported that the police had taken the critically wounded man to hospital after a three-hour delay. The government says it will order a judicial inquiry into the matter.
"The evidence we have collected suggests death in custody. The time they wasted was the cause of death," said Ghulab Chand Kataria. "After investigating we have found out that the cows were first dropped off at the gaushala (shelter). They shouldn't have done that," the minister added, bypassing questions raised about the possibility of Rakbar Khan dying after being beaten in police custody.
Rakbar Khan and his friend Aslam were attacked late on Friday night by villagers who thought they were smuggling cows. He was beaten with sticks and stones while is friend managed to escape. The 28-year-old was taken to hospital by the police three hours after the attack, by which time he was dead. On the way to the hospital, the police had arranged to transport the cows to a shelter, went to the police station and even took a tea break.
Naval Kishore, the right-wing member who initially informed the police about the attack and then accompanied them, had produced a photograph of the injured man sitting upright inside the police car. "I am saying again and again that these boys did not beat the man, the police also did," he told reporters today, referring to the three men arrested by the police shortly after the attack.
According to the autopsy report, Rakbar died of shock as a result of his injuries. "There were injuries on the body... internal bleeding lead to the death," said Rajeev Gupta, one of the doctors who performed the autopsy.  There were seven-eight fractures on his body. Rakbar's brother has said that he was beaten so severely that even his neck was broken.
Mr Kataria today visited the family and announced a compensation of Rs. 1.25 lakh - a first in the state where another man, a 55-year-old dairy farmer was beaten to death, allegedly by cow vigilantes, in April  last year.  The men he named in his deathbed confession have been released by the police, who claim they were not in the spot during the attack.

In this case, action has been taken against three policemen. Assistant sub-inspector Mohan Singh has been suspended and two constables shifted to Police Lines.
Amid countrywide outrage over mob killings, the home ministry today issued a circular that said states are responsible for "controlling crime, maintaining law and order and protecting the life and property of citizens". The states, the notice said, should take into account a Supreme Court order to do all that's needed to curb such incidents.
Assembly elections will be held in Rajasthan later this year.

A group of ministers led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh would study the recommendations of a high-level panel to discuss ways to stop the attacks and then submit a report to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Centre has said.

Direction in above case:

These proceedings should be read in continuation of the earlier proceedings of the Commission dated10.1.2018. The complainant had alleged that the priest of Rudreshwara Swami Temple assaulted a dalit boy who had gone there for prasadam. The boy was seriously injured. No FIR was registered by the police. It has been prayed to register the case under SC/ST (POA) Act 1989 and appropriate action in the matter. Pursuant to the directions of the Commission, the Superintendent of Police, Bengaluru vide communication dated 28.2.2017 has forwarded the report dated 27.2.2017 of the Dy.SP Nelamangala which reveals that on 2 1.10.2014 at about 12.30 hours one Sri Sakubettaiah appeared in Nelamangala Town PS and lodged complaint stating that his son Santosh was beaten by priest of temple. He belongs to Scheduled Caste. On 
receipt of complaint Nelamangala Town PS case crime No. 266/2014 u/s 323/ 504 IPC and 3 cl(10) (14) SC/ST Act was registered. During investigation accused Vijay Kumar was arrested and remanded to judicial custody. 
After completion of investigation charge-sheet was submitted in the Court. The case was fixed on 21.4.2017  for hearing before charge. The report further discloses that the D.C. Bengaluru has sanctioned Rs.25,000/- on 23.10.2014 for medical expenses and Rs.1,25,000/- on 4.12.2014 as compensation to the victim. 
Vide proceedings dated 21.8.2017, the Commission directed the D.C., Bengaluru, Rural, to submit report within six weeks about payment of medical expenses and compensation to the victim Santosh s/o Sakubettaiah alongwith proof of payment. However, the report regarding payment of medical expenses and compensation to the victim has not been received till now. From perusal of case file, it appears that the FIR was lodged on 21.10.2014 (date of incident has not been specifically mentioned). Sl. No. 14 of the Schedule Annexure-1 amended SC/ST(POA) Rules, 1995 which is effective from 23.6.2014 reads as under:- Sl No. Name of the offence 14 Denial of customary rights of passage [section 3(1)(xiv))] Minimum amount of relief : Upto three lakh seventy five thousand or full cost of restoration of right of passage and full compensation of the loss suffered, if any. Payment of 50% when charge sheet is sent to the court and 50% on conviction in lower-court. The Commission has considered the matter. The D.C. Bengaluru, Rural is directed to appear in person alongwith report regarding payment of medical expenses and compensation to the victim Santosh, before the Commission during its camp sitting on 26/27.7.2018 at Bengaluru. He is further directed  to apply amended Rules of SC/ST (POA) RuleS, 1995 and to take appropriate steps for payment of balance amount of compensation in accordance with law and also submit report in this regard on said date. The Registry is directed to list this matter on 26/27.7.2018 during camp sitting of the Commission at Bengaluru (Karnataka). 
The parties be informed accordingly.
