Protest Alert: Cow Vigilante Death Sparks Violence in Mathura

Tensions erupted in Mathura after the death of cow vigilante Chandrashekhar, triggering massive protests and violence. Angry crowds blocked the Delhi-Agra Highway, pelted stones at police, and damaged vehicles, leading to injuries among security personnel. However, police, led by SSP Ashok Kumar, claimed the incident was an accident, not linked to cow smuggling. According to officials, Chandrashekhar was checking a vehicle in dense fog when a Rajasthan-registered truck hit him from behind, causing his death. Despite this clarification, protests intensified, with demonstrators alleging foul play. Police used force to disperse the crowd and restore traffic after hours of disruption. Investigations revealed no cattle in the vehicles involved, strengthening the accident theory. Chandrashekhar, a well-known figure in the Braj region, ran a cow shed in Ajnau village and was widely respected. His sudden death fueled public anger, turning the situation into a major law-and-order challenge.
