Listen Later

No one killed Pehlu Khan. At least that seems to be the message of the judgment of a trial court in Rajasthan that was hearing the 2017 lynching case involving Pehlu Khan. All that after 44 witnesses, including Khan’s two sons Irshad and Aarif deposed in the case, registered under several sections of the IPC — 302 (murder), 147 (rioting) and 341 (wrongful restraint).
Pehlu Khan’s lynching in Alwar was shot on video. You've possibly watched the video where he was captured being beaten up mercilessly. So firstly, there is a video proving that he was indeed attacked by a mob. Then, there's a dying declaration of Pehlu Khan who died two days after the attack. And yet there are no accused? Who are the perpetrators and how are they getting away with the crime? We’ll look at the highlights of this recent verdict, and also the several discrepancies in the handling of this case. Tune in!
