"He Was Chasing Car": Mother Of 'Cow Vigilante' Behind Faridabad Student's Killing

The Faridabad Police has maintained that it has no evidence so far to prove that the attackers were 'cow vigilantes'.

It's been nearly two weeks since a Class 12 student was mistaken for a cattle smuggler and killed by five people in Haryana's Faridabad. While the Faridabad Police has maintained that it has no evidence so far to prove that the attackers were 'cow vigilantes' or associated with any organisation that is engaged in such work, NDTV spoke to the mother of the main accused, who has belied their claims.

Not only has the mother admitted that her son is a "cow protector" but she has also said that he was chasing the car in which the student was killed. Maintaining that her son is innocent, she said that he was not the one who fired the bullet that killed the student and held up his work in "cow protection" to illustrate his good behaviour.

The chain of evidence does not end there. NDTV went to the office of the main accused, where people said that he is well known as a cow vigilante, and also found YouTube videos posted by his organisation 'Live for Nation' where its members are seen engaging in activities related to cow protection. Some videos also show cow vigilantes chasing people in cars.
