Tensions Roil Mathura After Cow Vigilante ‘Farsa Wale Baba’s’ Death, Villagers Stage Blockade
Tensions erupted in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district on Saturday (March 21), coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, after a cow vigilante lost his life.
The victim, identified as Chandrashekhar, a prominent cow protection activist known across the region as ‘Farsa Wale Baba’, was reportedly struck and killed by a vehicle linked to suspected cattle smugglers during a high-speed, late-night pursuit.
Notably, the tragedy occurred within the Kosi Kalan police jurisdiction, specifically in the Kosi area near Navipur village.
Preliminary reports indicate that Chandrashekhar was pursuing a truck on his motorcycle, suspecting it was involved in cattle smuggling. During the chase, the suspects allegedly rammed their vehicle into him, inflicting fatal injuries that caused his death at the scene.
According to early reports, one suspect was detained at the scene, while three others managed to flee from the spot.
The police, meanwhile, have since launched a search operation to track down and arrest the remaining fugitives and are currently inspecting the impounded vehicle to confirm its involvement and determine if it was being used for the illicit transport of cattle. The killing of Baba has sparked widespread outrage and sorrow among local residents, causing tensions to escalate throughout Uttar Pradesh.
In addition, the authorities have established rigorous cordons on all roads leading to Barsana, while a crowd of thousands has converged on Anjanokh, the Baba’s home village. With Hindu organizations and cow-protection activists expressing intense outrage, the situation remains extremely volatile following his death.
Chandrashekhar was known among certain groups in the Braj region for his involvement in cow protection activities, and news of his death has led to a wave of mourning.
