In the first conviction for the horrific lynching of Pehlu Khan in 2017, 2 minors have been found guilty in the case by a Juvenile Justice Board in Alwar, a Senior Police official said.
IG Jaipur S Sengathir said that "The board convicted two minors on Thursday. Sentencing will be pronounced on Saturday".
The 2 minors were part of a mob that allegedly lynched the 55-year-old dairy farmer in 2017.
In Aug 2019, 6 men who were accused of lynching Khan were acquitted by a lower Court in Alwar & this is the first conviction in the case.
The 6 accused - Vipin Yadav, Ravindra Kumar, Kaluram, Dayanand, Yogesh Kumar & Bheem Rathi - were given the benefit of doubt & were acquitted.
The State Govt. filed a plea against the Court order in the HC in Oct.
Khan, his 2 sons & a few others were transporting cows from Jaipur when they were intercepted & thrashed by cow vigilantes near Alwar's Behror on April 1, 2017.
Khan succumbed to his injuries on April 3 in a hospital.
