In West Delhi's Janakpuri area, two men were reportedly beaten by a group suspecting them of cow smuggling, according to police on Tuesday.

A PCR call alerted officers, who arrived at the scene to find an abandoned, damaged car after the alleged assault. Witnesses reported the incident, noting that the victims were subjected to violence because of mistaken suspicions.

The police investigations revealed that the injured men, Amaan and Mohd Irfan, legally supply buffalo meat. They produced official receipts to the police, stating they were wrongly attacked. Legal actions are ongoing as more suspects are being scrutinized.
