Dept of wtf

April 28, 2007

Saw this bizarre news item… does anyone know anything more about this? I haven’t been able to find anything else…

A milkman was beheaded in front of his wife and three children — all under 12 — because he had been late to milk a Bokaro Steel Plant officer’s cows.

Neighbours watched in mute horror last night as Jaiprakash Singh, the security officer, held Upendra Yadav down and ordered his sons to chop off the 32-year-old’s head. While younger son Chhotu, 22, helped his father hold the ailing milkman who had been dragged out of bed, the older Kaushal, 26, brought the sword down.

That’s horrific enough, but what concerned me even more was the end of the report:
The mob surrounded the local police station, demanding that Kaushal be handed over to them for justice. The police and administration officials struggled to keep the protest from spinning out of control. By afternoon, the mob appeared to have given up the demand for Kaushal and were only asking for a job and compensation for Meena.
I’m relieved that the mob isn’t going to lynch the killer/s, but I hope they’ll be brought to justice speedily.
