The cow vigilantes — Baghel, Yogesh Uike, Dileep Namdev, Rohit Yadav and Shyam Lal — had assaulted three persons, including a woman, who were identified as Dilip Malviya, Sama Ansari and Tausif Khan.
After the incident, the police Wednesday had arrested the three for carrying 140 kg beef in an auto-rickshaw and booked them under the Madhya Pradesh Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act.
Police arrested the cow vigilantes only after the video went viral.
