India, Aug. 13 -- MEERUTA 36-year-old government doctor was allegedly pulled out of his SUV and beaten by a group of people in an apparent case of cow vigilantism after his vehicle hit a stray cow on a Badaun road on Tuesday, with videos purportedly showing the crowd surrounding the vehicle, damaging it and assaulting the doctor. Four people have been arrested in connection with the incident, police said on Wednesday. The incident took place around 2:30 pm near Bichpuri village under Alapur police station limits. Dr Rahul Siddharth, a Bareilly resident, was posted at the Community Health Centre in Usawan and was travelling towards Badaun market when his SUV hit a cow standing on the road in the Myaun area. The animal fell near the SUV after being struck. Police said villagers who witnessed the accident rushed towards the vehicle. Siddharth could not immediately leave as the injured cow was lying close to the SUV. The situation soon turned violent, with the crowd allegedly dragging the doctor out of the vehicle and assaulting him. Witnesses said Siddharth repeatedly folded his hands and pleaded with the crowd to spare him, but the assault continued. His clothes were allegedly torn during the attack. The SUV was also allegedly vandalised, with its windows smashed using bricks and sticks. A purported video of the incident shows several people surrounding the vehicle, while another appears to show some people trying to overturn it. Police said personnel reached the spot after being alerted and rescued Siddharth from the crowd. The damaged SUV was taken to the police station. The injured cow was treated by a veterinary doctor and later shifted to a cowshed. It died during treatment and was subsequently buried, police said....
