From the arrested ones, Chotan has already been charged for 7 other crimes in Deoband Police station, out of which 5 are related to the cow slaughter. The main accused Faizan has also been charged for 7 other crimes in Deoband Police station. 4 of these cases are registered for cow slaughtering and rest under the Gangster Act. (If these 2 culprits have already been charged for cow slaughter previously, till now, why isn’t strict action taken against them ? If they are again and again doing the same crime after getting released on bail, will the cow slaughter ever come to an end ? Making amendments in such Acts is the only solution for this ! – Editor)

Editorial viewpoint

Such crimes are taking place in UP even after the Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act. Hence, the Government should take efforts to increase the provisions in the Act as well as to carry out such cases in Fast Track Court.
