Sinsinwar told the Indian Express that five of the victims had to be hospitalised.

&quot;I had bought two milch cows for Rs 75,000, and I had all the valid documents with me. We were not even trying to hide the cows, as we were taking them in a pick-up truck. At around 6 pm on Saturday, the gau rakshaks stopped our vehicle and asked us our names. They allowed our driver, Arjun, to leave,&quot; Azmat told the Indian Express.&nbsp;

&ldquo;I told them I had all the documents but they pulled us out of the vehicle and beat us up. They took away Rs 35,000 from me. I later lost consciousness and woke up in a hospital at around 1 am on Sunday,&rdquo; he added.

Police told the Indian Express that the gau rakshaks were booked for culpable homicide, destruction of property, and other charges.

After Khan&#39;s death, they have also been booked for murder.&nbsp;

The men attacked were booked too, under the Rajasthan Bovine Animals (Prohibition of Slaughter &amp; Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act, 1995.
