Fifth column: No justice yet for Pehlu Khan
Democracy is not possible without the rule of law. We must hope that Modi remembers this if he becomes prime minister again.
Last week I went to Behror. Pehlu Khan was beaten to death here two years ago. I wanted to see what had happened to the men who lynched him. I stopped first in the bazaar. The shopkeepers I talked to smiled when I mentioned his name and said, “It happened in that street farther up… he deserved what he got. He was a cattle smuggler. His sons had been arrested earlier for cattle smuggling. If he wasn’t a smuggler, why did he have 10 cows in his truck?”
