Protests were held in cities across the country on Wednesday against a wave of attacks on Muslims by mobs that accuse them of killing cows or eating beef.
The protests follow the stabbing to death last week of a 16-year-old boy accused of possessing beef on a train. Several people have been arrested. On Tuesday, a man was beaten and his house set on fire by a mob that accused him of slaughtering a cow in eastern Jharkhand state.
