Pehlu Khan (55), his two sons and a few others were transporting cows from Jaipur when they were allegedly stopped and thrashed by a mob near Behror in Alwar district on April 1, 2017.

Later, a video clip surfaced on social media purportedly showing a group of men beating them.

While his sons survived, Khan, a resident of Jaisinghpura village in Haryana's Nuh district, died in hospital on 3 April, triggering outrage over the murder.

A CNN News18 report had earlier said that at the time of the incident, Khan had even tried to show the purchase receipts to the vigilantes who did not care about it.
