They videotaped the lynching and posted it on social media so the Prime Minister would have seen it and the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. That this comes from the man who has the responsibility to enforce the law in Rajasthan is not just worrying but terrifying. But not only is it not obvious to the government of Rajasthan, it seems not to be obvious to the Prime Minister. When cow vigilantes killed Mohammad Akhlaq, they disrespected the law of the land and the Prime Minister said nothing. Since nearly always it is Muslims who become the victims of cow vigilantes, it would be fair to say that these are really hate crimes.
