Mohammad Ayub, also reported as Ayyub Mev, died on 16 September 2016 after being assaulted in Ahmedabad three days earlier. The incident followed a chase and vehicle collision on the SG Highway. Police said his car carried cattle; his family disputed aspects of the account and alleged an attack by cow vigilantes.
Incident/policy context. Original factual graphic; read the report for attribution and the full account.
Police arrested three men on 21 September in connection with his death. A chargesheet subsequently described an assault with weapons after the collision. In January 2017, the family sought further investigation, questioning why the alleged organised cow-vigilante connection had not been adequately addressed.
Documented milestone. This historical record does not establish the current final outcome.
The death, arrests and family’s demand are separate parts of this historical record. The allegation of a vigilante network is attributed rather than treated as a final finding. The documented 2016–17 investigation milestones do not establish a later trial verdict or the present custody status of the accused.
