Three cattle transporters who were found under a bridge in Arang in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur district last month “jumped” to their deaths and were neither assaulted nor confronted, a Special Investigation Team has said in its chargesheet filed in a court last week. The police had earlier invoked assault and attempted murder charges in the FIR.
The SIT is learnt to have charged five arrested men under sections of culpable homicide and common intention for the deaths of the three men, Saddam Qureshi (23), Guddu Khan (35), and Chand Miya Khan (23).
Qureshi and his cousin Chand Miya Khan (23), both from Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district, and Guddu Khan (35) from Shamli district, were transporting cattle from Mahasamund to state capital Raipur on June 7 when they were allegedly chased by a mob on suspicion of cow smuggling and were later found lying on the rocks below a bridge.
While Chand Miya died on the spot, Guddu died on the way to the hospital that day and Qureshi succumbed to his injuries on June 18.
