After 'cow slaughter' death, a family's stigma in Delhi village: 'They aren't giving us even water'

“Papa ki body lene jaa rahi hu. Idhar hi rukna (I am going to get your father’s body. You stay here),” Jhaso Devi told her children – as she left the farmhouse in Dwarka’s Chawla village where her husband was killed less than 48 hours ago – on Wednesday.

Rajaram, a 40-year-old caretaker of the farmhouse, died in hospital on Monday night after being beaten by a group, who accused him and the others present with him at the time of the incident, of cow slaughter. Two FIRs were subsequently filed over the attack and alleged cow slaughter, but five days after the death, there has been no arrest in the murder case while five have been arrested in the other.
