Alwar lynching: Police made 'error in judgement', says senior Rajasthan cop
Alwar lynching
The policemen who arrived on the scene first took the cows — over which Rakbar Khan was lynched; they belonged to him — before taking Khan to hospital. They also stopped for tea en route
A senior Rajasthan police officer has said the police made an "error in judgement" when they decided to first take the cows over which Akbar Khan was lynched to a shelther before taking Khan to hospital.
"... prima facie we have found that there was indeed an error in judgement in deciding what was important at that point," NRK Reddy, Special DG on police role in Alwar lynching case, said.
Rakbar aka Akbar Khan had been lynched in Alwar district's Lallwandi village on Saturday. Another man with him had been beaten.
The policemen who had arrive on the scene had first taken the cows over which Akbar had been lynched — they belonged to him — to a cow shelther 10 kilometres away. They then took Khan to the police station — which was reportedly right next to the hospital — to change his clothes. At some point they also stopped for tea, before finally taking Khan to hospital.
Khan was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Khan had by that time been in police custody for close to four hours.
