JAIPUR/ALWAR: A local court in Alwar on Thursday convicted 4 persons in the 2018 Rakbar Khan lynching case. However, one accused has been acquitted as the prosecution failed to prove a case against him.
Additional district Judge Sunil Kumar Goyal convicted Naresh, Vijay, Paramjeet and Dharmendra under section 341(Punishment for wrongful restraint) and 304(Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder). However, it gave the benefit of doubt to another accused Naval saying no evidence was produced against him.
In 2018, Khan was beaten to death by a mob, purportedly comprising several cow vigilantes, on the suspicion that he was smuggling cattle.
