2019 - In April this year, 55-year-old Prakash Lakda, a member of a Christian tribe, was lynched by a mob of Hindu villagers who suspected him of slaughtering a cow in the central Indian state of Jharkhand. Three other tribals from his village were also attacked, leaving them grievously injured.

Now, a police investigation has shown that Lakda's death might have been as much a result of police complicity as it was of the violent mob. Last week, the investigation revealed how Lakda and the three other victims were ignored by the police for over an hour and a half, as they lay on the street, writhing in pain, after having been attacked for over four hours.
The police, however, have now gone on to charge the three victims on charges of cow slaughter, an offense under local laws that can lead to 10 years of imprisonment, or a fine of 10,000 rupees ( €126, $140). The complaint against them was lodged by the mob that lynched Lakda. (SERIOUSLY??)
The lynching itself and the official response to it are symbolic of the Indian state's inept handling of these crimes and the long road to justice for victims.

India struggles with religious lynchings

Tribal people in the Indian state of Jharkhand protest over the killing of a person by vigilante groups
A cow-related lynching in the state of Jharkhand was not prosecuted by police and went unnoticed by the public. The incident has become a symbol of the Indian government's inept handling of religious hate crimes
Over the last five years, India has seen an outbreak of religious hate crimes, with an average of one happening every week. Many of them have drawn mass protests, social media outrage, hashtags and even a response from the government.
But one particularly heinous case has fallen through the cracks and has drawn little attention and outrage, despite the brutality and injustice experienced by the victims.

An outbreak barely contained
This recent outbreak of hate crimes has been concurrent with the term of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In the last five years, since Modi was first elected to office in 2014, the country witnessed 276 such religious bias-driven hate crimes, according to Hate Crime Watch, a database that tracks such crimes. In the five years preceding Modi's tenure, there were only 24 cases.
There have already been 23 such hate crimes in 2019, and Jharkhand, the central state where Lakda was lynched, has seen 15 of them
In the same state last June, another member of parliament from Modi's BJP, Nishikant Dubey, said that he would bear the legal expenses of those accused of lynching two Muslim cattle traders to death on suspicion of cattle theft.

THIS GUY IS ALSO Congressy ?? Stop coming up with Excuses -- Accept the reality I.e Hindus are going haywire,Crazy -- The ppl who killed that Khan guy in Rajasthan were Shanting slogans of _______ ?? Their videos are also available did u watch ?? DID you Watch NDTV sting operation ?? In which world courts do not accept Videos as an evidence ?? Does india have a law which provide protection to ppl if they speak against the guys involved in crimes ??
I can Post more lynching cases ?? Wont be surprised if you still come up with another excuse to defend & somehow blame another party... Your Govt is complicit & BJP leaders are a driving force in these hate crimes - They are encouraging vigilantes, lynching brigades...
Now a days your parliament is full of hatemongers & Accused individuals who are in involved in bombings, hate crimes & those who have extreme views & a guy like yogi was CM & recently a lady who was accused of placing a bomb outside mosque was allowed to contest election - She won right ?? That is a New India which we are talking about --
India was not expecting this onslaught, this constant reverse swinging balls from PM IK and Twitter message gets through very fast looking at the Re Tweets and the PTI huge presence of youths in social media. 
Surely the world will now boycott India ? The truth is no head of state speaks this way, and that is for a reason. The more one barks , the less the world gives a shit. But, I guess you think its your victory, so I would not like to spoil it.
