Earlier, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi questioned the role of the state police. Owaisi had said that the murder of the Rakbar has happened with the collusion of Rajasthan Police and cow- protectors. He said that I am not surprised at the police action. The police's role was similar to last year's murder of Paru Khan. Police of Rajasthan promotes guards.
Over the suspicion of cow smuggling, the alleged guards had beaten the Rakbar and Aslam on the night of Friday. In the meantime, Aslam managed to escape, but he was rushing to the racket. In this case, questions are being raised about the role of the police. It is alleged that the police was arranging the car for the cow instead of taking the victim to the hospital.
