Man killed in cow lynching in India

Indian police yesterday said one man was killed and three injured in an attack by a mob while they were skinning a dead ox, in the latest case of so-called cow lynching. The latest incident happened in Jharkhand late on Thursday when men from a local Christian community were skinning the carcass of an ox in a field. Human Rights Watch said 44 people died in cow-related violence between May 2015 and December last year by Hindu vigilantes.
