March 31, 2017 12:38

JUST IN: Gujarat Assembly amends cow protection law - life term for slaughtering cow.

Gujarat already has a cow protection law in place, put into effect when Narendra Modi was the state chief minister.

The Gujarat government had imposed a complete ban on cow-slaughter, transportation and selling of cow-beef by amending the erstwhile Gujarat Animal Preservation Act of 1954, in 2011. Since then, the crimes related to cow slaughter in Gujarat are covered under the Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Act of 2011.

Under this Act, the people found involved in cow-slaughtering and related crimes are penalised with Rs. 50,000 fine and a jail term up to seven years
