Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh): A Muslim cattle trader was shot dead and robbed of Rs 1,50,000 on Saturday near Sikheda village on his way home.

The deceased was identified as Akhlak. He was returning to his home in Mansurpur village from a cattle mela in Bihari village when the incident took place, news agency PTI reported qouting police officials.

According to City SP Ombir Singh, two armed men intercepted Akhlak's e-rickshaw, shot him and robbed Rs 1,50,000 cash from a case in the vehicle.

On information, senior police officers rushed to the spot and started search operations. The body of the deceased was sent for post-mortem, officials said.

A number of Muslim cattle traders have been killed in the past few years at the hands of cow vigilantes in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other states.

Some Muslims have also been killed merely on the rumours that they possessed beef. Among the first of such incidents, Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched to death in Dadri - some 200 kms from Muzaffarnagar.
