Nearly nine months after Alimuddin Ansari was lynched by cow vigilantes in Jharkhand, a Ramgarh court on Wednesday awarded life imprisonment for all the 11 convicted in the case. The development comes a few days after a fast-track court had convicted 11 of the 12 accused, including a district BJP leader and at least three members of the local “gau raksha samiti”. This was possibly the first case in recent years, when a lynching by gau rakshaks has ended in conviction by a district court. The defence counsel had said they would appeal against the judgment in the Jharkhand High Court.
