Bulandshahr violence: cow politics, lynching and elections, create a deadly cocktail.
Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh was simply going about his job as a police officer in Kotavali Bulandshahr, when he was mercilessly hacked down in an unprovoked incident. The administration tried to play down his death and blame it on the negligence on fellow police officers. But there is a heady mix of cow politics, beef lynchings and the 2019 general elections involved as Bisbo explains in details the events that led to it. Make sure you wait till the end limerick.

---------------------
Don't forget to watch Bisbo's Limerick at the end of each video, that neatly sums up the topic.
In today’s India a cow is worth more than a cop
The banning of beef is a fundamentalist sop
Giving them license to kill
For which the country pays the bill
The government must ensure that these lynchings stop
