In yet another incident of cow vigilantism, a group of Gau Rakshaks (cow vigilantes) barged into a Muslim home and seized all the meat and their fridge, allegedly over suspicions of storing beef.
The incident occurred in Khordha town of Odisha days after Eid al-Adha, a festival of sacrifice.
In a viral video that has surfaced on the internet, a group of cow vigilantes is seen barging into a Muslim household. The mob shouted slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” as they raided their refrigerator.
