An woman in India was, together with her 14-year-old cousin gang-raped while two of her relatives were murdered after being accused of eating beef. The 20-year-old woman, who is a Muslim, claims the gang of men beat her uncle and aunt to death before attacking her and her cousin.

Beef eaten by lady and cousin

This incident happened in Mewat in the northern sate of Haryana two weeks ago. Cows are considered sacred by India’s Hindu majority and the slaughter and consumption of beef is banned in several states. Urdu, the woman said: ‘They [the accused men] said that we ate cow meat and that is why we were being disgraced [raped]. They even threatened to kill me and my family if we ever told anybody what happened to us.’ Mewat, which is only 60 miles from Delhi, is a majority Muslim area and the source of significant conflict. The victim denied eating beef, which is illegal in Haryana. Local police denied the attack was carried out by cow protection groups. The Indian government has tried to counter the problematic culture in the country with the introduction of strict anti-rape laws.
