Ranchi, June 29 (IBNS): Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's condemnation of cow vigilantism, a man was killed in the state of Jharkhand for carrying beef in a car on Thursday, media reports said.

Alimuddin, also known as Asgar Ansari, was driving his Maruti car while he was stopped by a mob in Ramgarh district and was beaten up. Though Alimuddin was taken to a hospital by the police, he soon died.

A police officer RK Malik, termed the killing as "premeditated murder", according to NDTV.

Apart from this incident, a dairy owner was attacked three days ago by a mob after they saw the carcass of a cow. The mob resorted to set his house into fire.

The incidents occurred days after a group of 15 men allegedly hacked a teenager to death and stabbed his family members inside a moving train after accusing them of carrying beef following a dispute over seats.

The deceased, who hailed from Ballabgarh, Haryana, has been identified as Junaid, 19, who was travelling home with his brothers Haseem, Moeen and Mohsin after shopping for Eid at Delhi's Jama Masjid.

According to a Times of India report, the group had passed several communal abuses and humiliated the brothers, asking them to get out of the train.

The roads of various cities like New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru witnessed protest termed as 'Not In My Name', following the lynching of Junaid. The outcry was against the killing of people because of their name or religion or identity.

PM Modi condemned the activities of the cow vigilantes while addressing a public gathering in Gujarat on Thursday.

Modi said: "Killing people in the name of Gau Bhakti is not acceptable. This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve."

In a stern voice, the PM said: "As a society, there is no place for violence. No person in this nation has the right to take the law in his or her own hands in this country." "We come from the land of non-violence," he said, "Violence won't solve any problem."
