When I reached, I saw that Usman had already been cornered by the mob,” said Ansari, the watchman, who first alerted police. Usman was first asked by the mob whether the cow belonged to him, which he admitted. They took him to the exact spot where the carcass lay and made him swear that he did not kill it.
