In what can only be described as a shocking case of brutality, two Muslim cattle traders were beaten up and hanged to death from a tree by suspected cattle-protection vigilantes in Balumath forests in Latehar district, 100km from the state capital, early on Friday.
The duo identified as Muhammad Majloom, 35, and Azad Khan alias Ibrahim, 15, were cattle traders and they were on their way to a Friday market with eight buffaloes.
Their bodies were strung up with their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths stuffed with cloth.
Even though the buffaloes were reportedly set free by the men, they are still untraceable.
